Remarks

A data object type is a set of information that describes objects composing the structure of a data source—for example, a table or a data view. This information is provided in an XML stream (a Stream object) that conforms to the XML schema described in the VSDataObjectSupport.xsd file. For more information about this schema, see DDEX Data Object Support.

Implementing this object allows Visual Studio to access these objects programmatically without needing to rely on data-source-specific commands.

You must implement this class to use data tools with the data provider, including use of custom data view implementations that depend on programmatic access to data objects.
