The provider class in this sample derives from the System.Management.Automation.Provider.Drivecmdletprovider class.
AccessDBProviderSample03

AccessDBProviderSample04
This sample shows how to overwrite container methods to support calls to the Copy-Item, Get-ChildItem, New-Item, and Remove-Item cmdlets. These methods should be implemented when the data store contains items that are containers. A container is a group of child items under a common parent item. The provider class in this sample derives from the System.Management.Automation.Provider.Containercmdletprovider class.
AccessDBProviderSample05
This sample shows how to overwrite container methods to support calls to the Move-Item and Join-Path cmdlets. These methods should be implemented when the user needs to move items within a container and if the data store contains nested containers. The provider class in this sample derives from the System.Management.Automation.Provider.Navigationcmdletprovider class.
AccessDBProviderSample06
This sample shows how to overwrite content methods to support calls to the Clear-Content, Get-Content, and Set-Content cmdlets. These methods should be implemented when the user needs to manage the content of the items in the data store.
