Devart.Common Namespace / DbConnectionBase Class / Open Method

Open Method (DbConnectionBase)
Opens a data source connection with the property settings specified by the ConnectionString.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Sub Open() 
 
Remarks
The DbConnectionBase 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 DbConnectionBase goes out of scope, the connection it represents does not close automatically. Therefore, you must explicitly close the connection by calling Close.

Opening an open connection does nothing.
