Information for writing an ADO.NET 2.0 Data Provider

I am in the process of writing an ADO.NET 2.0 Data Provider but I'm finding
the lack of documentation is making the process rather slow. Can anyone
suggest any sources of information?

Thanks,

Mark

With the install, there are some hidden docs, but I am not sure any cover
data providers.

I would look at the open source sites (gotdotnet.com, sourceforge.net) and
look for projects where others have created data providers. They will have
some docs and, better yet, source code. This will give you the greatest leg
up on your work, IMO.

What data source do you need to access that does not have a managed
provider, an ODBC driver or OLE DB provider?

Hi Bill,

I need read-only access to legacy data in RMS indexed files on OpenVMS, for
use in our reengineered products. Yes, there are third-party ODBC drivers
for OpenVMS, but they have significant cost, performance and setup effort
implications. Through our work in providing web services on our legacy
systems, I already have the means to access the required data from Windows
in the form of xml documents, so presenting that data through an ADO.Net
provider should not be too difficult. Also, doing it this way means that we
don't have to compromise the design of the reengineered products at all.

Regards,

Mark

Hi Gregory,

Yes, I've been looking at the ADO.NET 2.0 Data Provider for SQLite and it's
been very helpful.
