	CreateService	Creates a service for the specified type.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetService	Retrieves the service object for the specified type.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	Initialize	Initializes the data view support object, allowing the provider to initialize resources when the data view hierarchy is created.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OpenSupportStream()	Opens a stream of bytes representing the data view support XML. (Overrides DataSupport.OpenSupportStream().)

Remarks

A data view is a hierarchical layout of data source objects that are displayed in the Visual Studio Server Explorer. Implementing this class allows such a hierarchy to be displayed to represent the hierarchical relationships of data source objects from virtually any data source.

The XML stream, which describes the data view, is provided in an XML file that validates against the schema definition file DataViewSupport.xsd.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
