How to: Implement a Custom Logic for Writing Data to and Reading Data from a Data Extract
- 4 minutes to read
This example demonstrates how to create a custom driver that will be used to encrypt/decrypt extract data by implementing the ICustomExtractDriver interface. The following methods are implemented for this interface.
- The ICustomExtractDriver.CreateWriteSession method creates a write session that is used to encrypt extract pages.
- The ICustomExtractDriver.CreateReadSession method creates a read session that provides logic for reading encrypted pages.
