Open Method (DbConnectionBase)

On this page

Opens a data source connection with the property settings specified by the ConnectionString.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#


'Declaration Public Overrides Sub Open()


public override void Open()

Remarks

The DbConnectionBase 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 DbConnectionBase goes out of scope, the connection it represents does not close automatically. Therefore, you must explicitly close the connection by calling Close.

Opening an open connection does nothing.
