Detailed Description

The ConnectionManager class supports dynamic creation of connection objects given a provider name. Derives from the IConnectionManager interface.

()

Remarks:

In order for dynamic creation to work, each dynamic link library, shared library, or assembly that implements a provider must supply a well-defined entry point function that takes as input a provider name and returns an IConnection instance. The definition of the entry point function is language- and platform-dependent. For this release of FDO, the windows libraries supporting FDO providers will be expected to support the following well-known unmanaged entry point function, which will create and return an unitialized connection object:

FdoIConnection * CreateConnection();

Definition at line 42 of file mgConnectionManager.h.
