SPClaimProvider.FillSchema Method
When implemented in a derived class, fills the schema of the entity. The schema is used by People Picker control to display the entity data.
Namespace: Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.Claims
Assembly: Microsoft.SharePoint (in Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Protected MustOverride Sub FillSchema ( _
schema As SPProviderSchema _
)
'Usage
Dim schema As SPProviderSchema
Me.FillSchema(schema)
protected abstract void FillSchema(
SPProviderSchema schema
)
Parameters
schema
Type: Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.SPProviderSchemaThe schema object to be modified.
Remarks
Claims can be displayed in the People Picker control and that implementation is sometimes referred to as a claims picker. If you want to implement a claims picker, you must implement this method. In addition, you must also implement FillClaimTypes(), FillClaimValueTypes(), and FillEntityTypes() methods in the SPClaimProvider, class.For more information, see How to: Create a Claims Provider.
In the following example, the FillSchema method returns two schema elements: Email and JobTitle (these are fields in the PeopleEditorEntityDataKeys class). The claims provider will return to People Picker control the entities as well as the email and job title information.
