public static void ClearAllPools( 
   bool forced
)

Parameters

forced

Determines whether to start the operation immediately, or after the timeout.

Pools are automatically cleared if a connection is idle for some time or closed by the server. Call the ClearAllPools method to force explicit pools clearance.

Note: if forced=false, this function is equivalent to ClearAllPools.

If there are many opened connections, immediate pool clearing can cause high server load, so it is recommended to use forced = false.

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
