Dataverse Virtual Tables - Build a Custom Provider

Jim Novak

Principal Technical PM at Microsoft

Dataverse Virtual Tables is a platform capability allowing Model Driven App developers to provide a unified experience for multiple sources of data. This means that some of your data may reside in the Dataverse database while some may reside in external data sources.

The Virtual Tables solution ships with out of the box providers, but what if these providers don't quite fit your current solution requirements? We can build our own custom data provider for Virtual Tables that surfaces data from an external data source.

This session will provide a quick walk through of requirements dive right into building our own custom data provider for Virtual Tables. We review code behind the plugin events for Retrieve and Retrieve Multiple, demonstrate how to transform your data, and see the plugin surface data live in our Model Driven App.
