Devart.Data.SQLite Namespace / SQLiteConnection Class / Open Method
Example

Open Method (SQLiteConnection)
Opens a SQLite connection with the property settings specified by the ConnectionString.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Overrides Sub Open() 
 
Remarks
The SQLiteConnection 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 SQLiteConnection 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.

Example
The following example creates a SQLiteConnection, opens it, displays some of its properties, and then closes the connection.
public void CreateSQLiteConnection(string myConnString)
{
  SQLiteConnection sqConnection = new SQLiteConnection(myConnString);
  sqConnection.Open();
  MessageBox.Show("ServerVersion: " + sqConnection.ServerVersion
    + "\nState: " + sqConnection.State.ToString());
  sqConnection.Close();
}
Public Sub CreateSQLiteConnection(myConnString As String)
  Dim sqConnection As New SQLiteConnection(myConnString)
  sqConnection.Open()
  MessageBox.Show("ServerVersion: " + sqConnection.ServerVersion _
    + ControlChars.Cr + "State: " + sqConnection.State.ToString())
  sqConnection.Close()
End Sub
