Implementing provider pattern?

Question

I have seen some articles on provider patten. I have a little idea of it and its benefit. I tried to see and do its implementation but got confused. Different authors have done it in different ways. I am very confused on how to do it. Some were using framework 1.1 but I am using 3.5 framework.

Please guide me or refer me some links on its easy and step by step implementation.

thanks a lot

Check out Miguel Castro's excellent webcast on the topic:

Writing provider-based features in ASP.NET

Watch it - internalize it - live it - it's a really great intro!
