Open Method (BigcommerceConnection)

On this page

Opens a BigCommerce connection with the property settings specified by the ConnectionString.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#


'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.

csharp


public void CreateBigcommerceConnection(string myConnString) { BigcommerceConnection bigcommerceConnection = new BigcommerceConnection(myConnString); bigcommerceConnection.Open(); MessageBox.Show("ServerVersion: " + bigcommerceConnection.ServerVersion + "\nState: " + bigcommerceConnection.State.ToString()); bigcommerceConnection.Close(); }

public void CreateBigcommerceConnection(string myConnString)
{
  BigcommerceConnection bigcommerceConnection = new BigcommerceConnection(myConnString);
  bigcommerceConnection.Open();
  MessageBox.Show("ServerVersion: " + bigcommerceConnection.ServerVersion
    + "\nState: " + bigcommerceConnection.State.ToString());
  bigcommerceConnection.Close();
}

Visual Basic


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

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
