Devart.Data.Bigcommerce Namespace / BigcommerceConnection Class / Open Method
Example

In This Topic
    Open Method (BigcommerceConnection)
    In This Topic
    Opens a BigCommerce connection with the property settings specified by the ConnectionString.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Overrides Sub Open() 
    public override void Open()
    Remarks
    The BigcommerceConnection draws an open connection from the connection pool if one is available. Otherwise, it establishes a new connection to the data source.

    Note: If the BigcommerceConnection goes out of scope, the connection it represents does not close automatically. Therefore, you must explicitly close the connection by calling Devart.Common.DbConnectionBase.Close.

    Opening an open connection does nothing.

    Example
    The following example creates a BigcommerceConnection, opens it, displays some of its properties, and then closes the connection.
    public void CreateBigcommerceConnection(string myConnString)
    {
      BigcommerceConnection bigcommerceConnection = new BigcommerceConnection(myConnString);
      bigcommerceConnection.Open();
      MessageBox.Show("ServerVersion: " + bigcommerceConnection.ServerVersion
        + "\nState: " + bigcommerceConnection.State.ToString());
      bigcommerceConnection.Close();
    }
    Public Sub CreateBigcommerceConnection(myConnString As String)
      Dim bigcommerceConnection As New BigcommerceConnection(myConnString)
      bigcommerceConnection.Open()
      MessageBox.Show("ServerVersion: " + bigcommerceConnection.ServerVersion _
        + ControlChars.Cr + "State: " + bigcommerceConnection.State.ToString())
      bigcommerceConnection.Close()
    End Sub
