Open Method (MailChimpConnection)

In This Topic

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

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Sub Open()

public override void Open()

Remarks

The MailChimpConnection 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 MailChimpConnection 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 MailChimpConnection, opens it, displays some of its properties, and then closes the connection.

csharp

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

Visual Basic

Public Sub CreateMailChimpConnection(myConnString As String)
  Dim mailchimpConnection As New MailChimpConnection(myConnString)
  mailchimpConnection.Open()
  MessageBox.Show("ServerVersion: " + mailchimpConnection.ServerVersion _
    + ControlChars.Cr + "State: " + mailchimpConnection.State.ToString())
  mailchimpConnection.Close()
End Sub
