Custom data provider

Hi. I'm trying to develop a custom data provider and would like to add
designer support. Specifically for the CommandText property I would like to
set the property editor that all other providers have (the Query builder).
Is this Editor available in the ComponentModel library or in any other
library?

Thanks in advance

Hi Michael,

I am sorry to say that I don't think there's such a property editor that
you could use directly in your program.

To add a UI editor for your custom data provider, you should extend the
UITypeEditor class. UITypeEditor class provides a base class that can be
used to design value editors that can provide a user interface(UI) for
representing and editing the values of objects of the supported data types.

The UITypeEditor class is located in System.Drawing.Design namespace in
system.drawing assembly.

For more information on how to implement a UI editor, you may refer to the
link as follows.

Hope this helps.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
