ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC

The ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC structure contains provider-specific information represented as a binary blob.

typedef ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC

  DWORD  dwLength;
  LPBYTE lpValue;
} ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC, *PADS_PROV_SPECIFIC;

Members

dwLength
The size of the character array.
lpValue

Remarks

The ADS_PROV_SPECIFIC structure is one of the data types used as a member of the ADSVALUE structure definition. The data is represented as a binary blob here, although the actual information can be packed in any data format, such as a C struct. It is the responsibility of the provider writer to publish the specific data format underneath the binary blob.
