Value
Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.
Remarks
The .NET Framework includes the following data providers:
The System.Data.SqlClient provider is the default .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server.
The System.Data.OleDb provider is the .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB.
The System.Data.Odbc provider is the .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC.
The System.Data.OracleClient provider is the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle.
The SqlDataSource.ProviderName property is never set to the name of an unmanaged ADO.NET provider, such as MSDAORA. For more information, see Selecting Data using the SqlDataSource Control.
If you change the SqlDataSource.ProviderName property, the System.Web.UI.IDataSource.DataSourceChanged event is raised, causing any controls that are bound to the System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource to rebind.
A list of available providers is specified in the DbProviderFactories subsection of the system.data section of the Machine.config file.
