The Provider Model

One of the cool things added to .NET 2.0 (especially ASP.NET 2.0) is the concept of a well supported provider model. Johan Danforth points to a couple of blog posts on the topic, specifically referring to an SQL Image Provider. The provider model helps you isolate yourself from the implementation details, something that is critical these days, as you never know what is coming next. This is especially true for database developers.
