Remarks

The DbConnectionStringBuilder class provides the base class from which the strongly typed connection string builders (Devart.Data.DB2.DB2ConnectionStringBuilder) are derived. The connection string builders let developers programmatically create syntactically correct connection strings, and parse and rebuild existing connection strings. The DbConnectionStringBuilder has been defined in a data source-agnostic manner. Because of the addition of the Devart.Common namespace, developers require a base class against which they can program in order to build connection strings that can work against an arbitrary database. But it is possible using this class to create invalid connection strings. It is recommended to use the strongly typed connection string builders (Devart.Data.DB2.DB2ConnectionStringBuilder and so on) because they support only key/value pairs that are supported by particular data source; trying to add invalid pairs will throw an exception. For more information, refer to the description of the System.Data.Common.DbConnectionStringBuilder class in MSDN.

Example

csharp

Devart.Common.DbConnectionStringBuilder csb = new Devart.Common.DbConnectionStringBuilder();
csb["Max Pool Size"] = 150;
csb["Connection Timeout"] = 30;
Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Connection myConnection = new Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Connection(csb.ConnectionString);

Visual Basic

Dim csb As Devart.Common.DbConnectionStringBuilder = New Devart.Common.DbConnectionStringBuilder
csb("Max Pool Size") = 150
csb("Connection Timeout") = 30
Dim myConnection As Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Connection = New Devart.Data.DB2.DB2Connection(csb.ConnectionString)
