Class CustomDataSourceAdvanced

Namespace

ToSic.Eav.DataSource

Assembly

ToSic.Eav.DataSources.dll

The base class for all DataSources, especially custom DataSources. It must always be inherited. It provides a lot of core functionality to get configurations, ensure caching and more.

Important: in most cases you will inherit the CustomDataSource DataSource for custom data sources.
