Creating a custom Database extension



  • Is there an example somewhere of how to create an extension Database action? We have been able to create and install a C# component to implement an action, but when we attempt to add a new action it first prompts to select a DB connection, then displays 2 Extension Properties: DatabaseProviderId and ProviderId (which are initially empty).

    We would have expected that the Action Form would have provided a selection option for the DB connection, but perhaps we're missing a step to define the contents of the customized Action Form?

    Any help would be appreciated!



  • Custom Database actions (i.e. inherits from DatabaseActionBase) can be a bit tricky, as you need a CustomActionEditor. I've emailed you the source code for all of our database actions; hopefully this will get you started.

    Just let us know if you need any help building the actions.



  • Thanks Steve.

    That was enough for us to implement a custom action, and the action were pretty easy to implement based on the source code that you provided. Appreciate the prompt response!
