But GetProviderDatastoreType() tells you if it's a file or not.

Dan,

Not quite what I was after - you can derive much from this and the names but
it's the actual connection parameters.  For example SHP has a
"DefaultFileLocation" that is a file but I only know it's a file by human
logic and looking up in the manual.  "MySQL" has a "DataStore" that is not a
file but SQLite's datastore is a file.  A generic application should know
how to present each parameter as boolean / file / hiddenpassword without
having to create custom pages per provider.  Is that clearer?
