New Post: Need help with understanding custom data providers.

Hi All;

I am struggling to wrap my head around how exactly the data providers operate within C1.

Here is my current understanding:

I can implement the IDataProvider interface for a read-only data provider, and the IWritableDataProvider for a read/write data provider.

The Composite.config has a section where I can register my custom data provider.

When implementing a data provider interface I am required to specify the types that my data provider supports/operates on.

Composite essentially has a base/default data provider, which could be in the flavour of the XmlDataProvider (or the SqlDataProvider if it was installed).

Oki, now my questions

Are my assumptions above correct?

If I don't register my custom provider, and no other custom providers are found within the Composite.config, would the composite Data system simply default to using the Xml/SqlDataProvider?


Thanks;
