Remarks
Use this class to work around restrictions on the naming of properties on classes (for example, they cannot contain spaces). A DDEX provider should apply this attribute to any connection property for which these restrictions create problems.
For example, the connection string for the Microsoft SQL Server data provider includes a property called Integrated Security. On a class this must be named "IntegratedSecurity" since properties cannot contain spaces; thus, this attribute is used to define the correct name in the connection string as "Integrated Security".
