Custom Data Provider
I am trying to find information about developing a custom dataprovider for a product that we supply.
We would like to make the proprietry data structures within the product available for reporting upon using report generators, or connecting to using a database, Excel etc.
We aould want the data connection to emulate a database, I have looked at some msdn custom data adapter code and have been able to get that to work by filling a datasource component. However we would like to be able to see the data source we have created available in Excel, or within Visual Studio DataSourceConfiguration wizard in the same manner as SQLServer is available.
I would be very grateful for any help, or documentation as I seem to be going in circles.
Thanks,
Richard.
