Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Shadows Property Connection As MySqlConnection
 

Property Value

The connection to a data source. The default value is a null reference.
Remarks
MySqlLoader instance uses MySqlConnection during loading and for populating columns collection when the Devart.Data.SqlShimLoader.CreateColumns method is called. For these operations MySqlLoader requires open connection.

This property supports the InterForm technology.

Example
The following example creates a MySqlLoader, then populates Columns collection from table description, loads data, flushes the buffer and dispose internal MySqlLoader structures.
public void LoadData(MySqlConnection myConnection)
{
  myConnection.Open();
  myConnection.Database = "Test";
  MySqlLoader loader = new MySqlLoader();
  loader.Connection = myConnection;
  loader.TableName = "load_table";
  try
  {
    loader.CreateColumns();
    loader.Open();
    for (int i = 1; i <= 10000; i++)
    {
      loader.SetValue("id", i);
      loader.SetValue("char_field", "test string");
      loader.SetValue("date_field", DateTime.Now);
      loader.NextRow();
    }
    loader.Close();
  }
  finally
  {
    myConnection.Close();
  }
}
Public Sub LoadData(ByVal myConnection As MySqlConnection)
  myConnection.Open()
  myConnection.Database = "Test"
  Dim loader As MySqlLoader
  loader = New MySqlLoader
  loader.Connection = myConnection
  loader.TableName = "load_table"
  Try
    loader.CreateColumns()
    loader.Open()
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 1 To 10000
      loader.SetValue("id", i)
      loader.SetValue("char_field", "test string")
      loader.SetValue("date_field", DateTime.Now)
      loader.NextRow()
    Next i
    loader.Close()
  Finally
    myConnection.Close()
  End Try
End Sub
