Parameters

• typeName
  Type: System.String

  The data source–specific name of the specified type to retrieve data objects for.

• restrictions
  Type: array<System.Object[]

  The restrictions for filtering the data objects returned.

• properties
  Type: array<System.String[]

  Specifies the requested property values of the data objects. The current version of DDEX does not support properties.

• filter
  Type: System.String

  A filter to further narrow down the selection of data objects when there is no one-to-one mapping between the mapped type and the data source–specific type. The format of the filter is identical to the format of the DataColumn expression.

• ordering
  Type: System.String

  A string of comma-delimited data objects representing the sort ordering of the returned data objects.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Services.IVsDataObjectCollection
An IVsDataObjectCollection containing the data objects.

Exceptions
