  Siteprovider

  Sep 07, 2008 09:02 AM|LINK

  In the BLL in, say, the Category.cs file, where the code reads:

              List<CategoryDetails> recordset = SiteProvider.Articles.GetCategories();
              categories = GetCategoryListFromCategoryDetailsList(recordset);
              BaseArticle.CacheData(key, categories);

  What is the purpose of the SiteProvider.Articles bit. I dont understand the instantition of an instance piece in the SiteProvider.cs file. Can I eliminate the creation of the instance and just directly execute the GetCategories() method? How would I accomplish this?

  Thanks

  ok..so i found the default provider in the ConfigSection.cs file...but i still cant figure out how to code the providertype explicitly, can someone show me how to do this please.
  
  So if im strictly using, say SQL, how could I rewrite the ArticlesProvider to create an instance of ArticlesProvider type? I tried this in the Articles Provider class and it didnt work.
  
  
                 _instance = (ArticlesProvider)Activator.CreateInstance(
                    Type.GetType(MB.TheBeerHouse.DAL.SQLClient.SqlArticlesProvider));
  
  I get the squiggly line and the error: The best overloaded match for 'System.Activator.CreateInstance' has some invalid arguments.
