ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC structure (iads.h)
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.
