How to implement a Data Extender for populating a List in the component creation page?

Question

I am new to Data Extenders concept in the Tridion. I came to know that it requires a config file and cs file from online documentation of SDL Tridion 2011 SP1. Is there any need of using core services for that? Please explain me the steps. Thanks in advance. Early response is appreciated.
