ADO.NET Provider Overview

• DataBind to Salesforce Chatter using standard Visual Studio wizards.
• Comprehensive support for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations.
• An easy-to-use 'flattened' interface for working with Salesforce Chatter databases.

The Salesforce Chatter ADO.NET Provider offers the most natural way to access Salesforce Chatter data from any .NET application. Simply use Salesforce Chatter Data Provider objects to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. You will be able to use the Salesforce Chatter Data Provider through Visual Studio Server Explorer, in code through familiar classes, and in data controls like DataGridView, GridView, DataSet, etc.

Using the Salesforce Chatter Provider

The Salesforce Chatter Data Provider wraps the complexity of accessing Salesforce Chatter services in an easy-to-integrate, fully managed ADO.NET Data Provider. Applications then access Salesforce Chatter through the Salesforce Chatter Data Provider with simple Transact-SQL.

The CData ADO.NET Provider for Salesforce Chatter hides the complexity of accessing data and provides additional powerful security features, smart caching, batching, socket management, and more.

Working with DataAdapters, DataSets, DataTables, etc.

The Salesforce Chatter Data Provider has the same ADO.NET architecture as the native .NET data providers for SQL Server and OLEDB, including Salesforce ChatterConnection, Salesforce ChatterCommand, Salesforce ChatterAdapter, Salesforce ChatterDataReader, Salesforce ChatterDataSource, Salesforce ChatterParameter, etc. Because of this you can now access Salesforce Chatter data in an easy, familiar way.

More Than Read-Only: Full Update/CRUD Support

Salesforce Chatter Data Provider goes beyond read-only functionality to deliver full support for Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations (CRUD). Your end-users can interact with the data presented by the Salesforce Chatter Data Provider as easily as interacting with a database table.
