Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Services (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.Services.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Interface IVsDataConnectionUIControl _
    Inherits IVsDataSiteableObject(Of IVsDataConnectionUIProperties)

public interface IVsDataConnectionUIControl : IVsDataSiteableObject<IVsDataConnectionUIProperties>

public interface class IVsDataConnectionUIControl : IVsDataSiteableObject<IVsDataConnectionUIProperties^>

type IVsDataConnectionUIControl =  
    interface 
        interface IVsDataSiteableObject<IVsDataConnectionUIProperties>
    end

public interface IVsDataConnectionUIControl extends IVsDataSiteableObject<IVsDataConnectionUIProperties>

Remarks

Use this interface to support graphical representation of connection information, as in the Visual Studio Data Connection dialog box, which is implemented by using the DataConnectionProperties class.

The DataConnectionUIControl class, which inherits this interface, provides a completely customized UI, and provides implementers of DDEX providers with the maximum degree of flexibility. No specialized UI is available unless you implement the DataConnectionUIControl class.

When the Visual Studio Data Connection dialog box first creates a DDEX provider's connection UI control, it calls the Initialize method with an instance of the provider's connection properties implementation.

A class derived from DataConnectionUIControl can use the SiteChanged event to invoke custom behavior when this event is raised. Then, whenever the contents of the connection UI control need to be updated, the LoadProperties method is called. A derived class should update all of its controls with the data currently stored in the Site object.

This interface has a base implementation in the DDEX Framework.
