ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC structure (iads.h)

  • Article

The ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC structure contains provider-specific data represented as a binary large object (BLOB).

Syntax

typedef struct __MIDL___MIDL_itf_ads_0000_0000_0004 {
  DWORD  dwLength;
  LPBYTE lpValue;
} ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC, *PADS_PROV_SPECIFIC;

Members

dwLength

The size of the character array.

lpValue

A pointer to an array of bytes.

Remarks

The ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC structure is one of the data types used as a member of the ADSVALUE structure definition. The data is represented as a BLOB here, although the actual data can be packed in any format, such as a C structure. The provider writer must publish the specific data format under the BLOB.

ADSI may also return attributes as ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC if unable to determine the correct attribute syntax type as would occur if, for example, the schema was unavailable.
