To create an OLE DB provider with the ATL OLE DB Provider Wizard

  1. Right-click the project.

  2. On the shortcut menu, click Add, and then click Add Class.

  3. In the Add Class dialog box, under Installed > Visual C++ > ATL, select the ATL OLEDB Provider icon, and then click Open.

  4. In the ATL OLE DB Provider Wizard, enter a short name for your provider in the Short Name box. The following topics use the short name Custom, but you can use another name. The other name boxes populate according to the name you enter.

  5. Edit the other name boxes, if needed. In addition to the object and file names, you can edit the following:

    • Coclass: The name that COM uses to create the provider.

    • ProgID: The programmatic identifier, which is a text string that can be used instead of a GUID.

    • Version: Used with the ProgID and Coclass to generate a version-dependent programmatic ID.

  6. Click Finish.
