How to create a MS Outlook Provider using SQL Server?

[WayneClements]

I have read various articles over and over again, including http://www.outlookcode .com/article.aspx?ID =25 and I cannot understand how to create a MS Outlook Contacts Provider in VB.NET

I have a whole lot of Contact information that is stored and maintained in a SQL Server database. I want to be be able to mirror / replicate this information in MS Outlook.

I acn write MS AddIn to copy the data from SQL Server to MS Outlook folder, but this seems like brute force and ignorance. I feel there must be a better way.

Thanks
