Property Value

Type: System.Guid
Returns a GUID object instance providing a unique identifier for the underlying technology used by the DDEX provider, if any; returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if none provided.

Remarks

A DDEX provider is often built on some other data source technology, such as ADO.NET, OLE DB or ODBC. By providing a value for this property, a data provider can allow clients that understand the underlying technology to access more specific features that are not exposed through DDEX.

There are presently three underlying technologies defined; of these, only the ADO.NET is currently in use:

  • ADO.NET

  • OLE DB

  • ODBC

.NET Framework Security
