DataObjectConceptMapper Class
Enables providing a customized mapper of data-source-specific metadata into well known concepts for use by a generic designer.
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.dll)
Syntax
Public MustInherit Class DataObjectConceptMapper _
Inherits ObjectWithSite
Dim instance As DataObjectConceptMapper
public abstract class DataObjectConceptMapper : ObjectWithSite
public ref class DataObjectConceptMapper abstract : public ObjectWithSite
public abstract class DataObjectConceptMapper extends ObjectWithSite
Remarks
A DDEX Provider should implement the DataObjectConceptMapper class when the mapping from data-source-specific metadata into a well known concept is too complicated to specify in their data object support XML file.
The DDEX Provider should specify a custom mapper for the target concept in their XML file as either a COM class ID that is registered in the Visual Studio local registry hive under the CLSID key, or as a managed type name, qualified as necessary.
At runtime, the DDEX metadata engine initializes an instance of this class and sites the object with the active DataConnection object.
