GetType() | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetType(Guid, String) | Retrieves a type definition given a type name and data source guid. |
|

Remarks
Some DDEX providers behave very differently against different data sources. The most extreme example is with generic providers like OLE DB and ODBC whose specific provider or driver defines the behavior. A simpler example is the differentiation between a SQL Server connection and a SQL Server Database File connection.
While the same provider is used to connect to each data source, the design time experience may be very different. A DDEX provider can implement this class to provide ways of customizing behavior of the provider depending on its data source.
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.
