Using the Code Samples
The Microsoft OLE DB Simple Provider Toolkit supplies sets of sample code for building a provider in three different languages. All three samples use the same external data source, Customer.txt (located in ..\Samples\osp), from which to load data. You can use these samples as a starting point for building your own provider by copying and editing the appropriate files or by using the sample files as a model and creating your own provider files from scratch.
Select one of the choices below for information on the OSP sample for that language.
Important
This feature will be removed in a future version of Windows. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Instead, write a fully functional OLE DB provider using the native OLE DB interfaces.
