DOC: Visual Basic Does Not Allow You to Build OLE DB Providers

ID: Q196956

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual Basic Professional and Enterprise Editions for Windows, version 6.0
Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0

SUMMARY

The Visual Basic 6.0 documentation incorrectly states that Visual Basic 6.0 can build an OLE DB provider.

MORE INFORMATION

While Visual Basic 6.0 does not allow you to build an OLE DB provider, it does ship with libraries that allow you to build components that implement an OLE DB Simple Provider. You could create such a component to interact with text files or custom file formats. The AXData project group sample demonstrates how to build such a component.
