Represents a set of methods for creating instances of the iAnywhere.Data.UltraLite provider's implementation of the data source classes. This is a static class and so cannot be inherited or instantiated.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public NotInheritable Class ULFactory
  Inherits DbProviderFactory

C#
public sealed class ULFactory: DbProviderFactory

Remarks

ADO.NET 2.0 adds two new classes, the System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactories class and the System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactory class, to make provider independent code easier to write. To use them with UltraLite.NET specify iAnywhere.Data.UltraLite as the provider invariant name passed to GetFactory. For example:

' Visual Basic
Dim factory As DbProviderFactory = _
  DbProviderFactories.GetFactory( "iAnywhere.Data.UltraLite" )
Dim conn As DbConnection = _
  factory.CreateConnection()

// C#
DbProviderFactory factory = 
        DbProviderFactories.GetFactory( "iAnywhere.Data.UltraLite" );
DbConnection conn = factory.CreateConnection();

In this example, conn is created as an ULConnection object.

For an explanation of provider factories and generic programming in ADO.NET 2.0, see  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/vsgenerics.asp.

UltraLite.NET does not support CreateCommandBuilder(), CreateDataSourceEnumerator(), and CreatePermission().

Restrictions: The ULFactory class is not available in the .NET Compact Framework 2.0.

Inherits: System.Data.Common.DbProviderFactory
