AccessDB Provider Sample05
|
|
==========================
|
|
This sample shows how to implement a basic Windows PowerShell provider that creates
|
|
PowerShell drives to manipulate items with containers and navigation support. Subsequent
|
|
provider samples show how to implement additional provider functionality. Windows PowerShell
|
|
providers enable users to access data in a consistent format that resembles a file system drive.
|
