Manages EscapeString. It can be set to Enabled, Disabled, or Auto.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

public BackslashEscapesMode BackslashEscapesMode {get; set;}

'Declaration
 
Public Property BackslashEscapesMode As BackslashEscapesMode

Property Value

The default property in Disabled specifies the use of EscapeString substitution. It can be set to one of three modes:

* Enable means that BACKSLASH_ESCAPES is allowed.

* Disable means that BACKSLASH_ESCAPES is not allowed.

* Auto means that you want to check whether the NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES mode is enabled or disabled in the SESSION.sql_mode of the database. Based on this, you can set the mode to either Enabled or Disabled.

Remarks

The Auto mode works as follows: the check is performed in the database once, and based on sql_mode, BackslashEscapesMode is set to either Enable or Disable. If you need to change BackslashEscapesMode for each Execute, you have the option to do so. The BackslashEscapesMode option can be set each time using connection.BackslashEscapesMode.

Example

Here is an example for C#:

csharp

MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(@"
User Id=...;
Password=...;
Host=...;
Port=...;
BackslashEscapesMode=Enable;

Visual Basic

MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(@"
User Id=...;
Password=...;
Host=...;
Port=...;
");
connection.BackslashEscapesMode = BackslashEscapesMode.Enable;
