Remarks

The System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls.DataProviderNameConverter class is a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter object that is typically referenced by the System.ComponentModel.TypeConverterAttribute attribute.

The names that are returned by the DataProviderNameConverter.GetStandardValues(System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext) method are of ADO.NET providers, from the System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories.GetFactoryClasses method, that create data objects.

The DataProviderNameConverter.GetStandardValuesExclusive(System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext) method gets a value indicating whether the returned provider names are an exclusive list of possible values. The DataProviderNameConverter.GetStandardValuesSupported(System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext) method gets a value indicating whether the returned provider names are a standard set of values that can be picked from a list.
