Custom .NET Provider

[Duncan Winn]

I am trying to write a custom OLE DB data provider to access to my data, but
it is proving very difficult. My data is stored using C++ classes (not in
database - but the classes act like one). I need to give third party access
to clients who do not know about my classes, but wish to access my data
through SQL.

Is this task achievable by writing a custom .NET provider rather than a
custom OLE DB provider?

Regards and thanks,

Duncan Winn

I've written both and the .NET Data Provider was a LOT easier than OLE DB.
