Parameters

context

An object implementing the System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext that provides information about a context to a type converter so that the type converter can perform a conversion.

Returns

A System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection containing the names of the available ADO.NET providers.

Remarks

The DataProviderNameConverter.GetStandardValues(System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext) method uses the System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories.GetFactoryClasses method to return a System.Data.DataTable object containing the ADO.NET provider names. It converts this System.Data.DataTable to a string array, and then converts this array to a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection object.

The context parameter is not used by the DataProviderNameConverter.GetStandardValues(System.ComponentModel.ITypeDescriptorContext).
