Devart.Data.FreshBooks Namespace / FreshBooksConnection Class / Open Method
Example

Open Method (FreshBooksConnection)
Opens a FreshBooks connection with the property settings specified by the ConnectionString.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Sub Open() 
 
Remarks
The FreshBooksConnection 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 FreshBooksConnection 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 FreshBooksConnection, opens it, displays some of its properties, and then closes the connection.
public void CreateFreshBooksConnection(string myConnString)
{
  FreshBooksConnection freshbooksConnection = new FreshBooksConnection(myConnString);
  freshbooksConnection.Open();
  MessageBox.Show("ServerVersion: " + freshbooksConnection.ServerVersion
    + "\nState: " + freshbooksConnection.State.ToString());
  freshbooksConnection.Close();
}
Public Sub CreateFreshBooksConnection(myConnString As String)
  Dim freshbooksConnection As New FreshBooksConnection(myConnString)
  freshbooksConnection.Open()
  MessageBox.Show("ServerVersion: " + freshbooksConnection.ServerVersion _
    + ControlChars.Cr + "State: " + freshbooksConnection.State.ToString())
  freshbooksConnection.Close()
End Sub
