Question

Our team is evaluating using WCF Data Services (formerly ADO.NET Data Services), and have determined we’ll have to create a Custom Data Service Provider. Where can we find a sample implementation of the two required interfaces: IDataServiceMetadataProvider and IDataServiceQueryProvider?

EDIT: Note that a “WCF Custom Data Service Provider” is not the same as an “ADO.NET Custom Data Provider.”

EDIT: We have begun reverse-engineering using Reflector, but I would still appreciate it if somebody had a sample they would be willing to post!
