In This Topic

Represents an open connection to a server.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Class UniConnection 
   Inherits Devart.Common.DbConnectionBase
   Implements System.ComponentModel.IComponent, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize, System.Data.IDbConnection, System.ICloneable, System.IDisposable

public class UniConnection : Devart.Common.DbConnectionBase, System.ComponentModel.IComponent, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize, System.Data.IDbConnection, System.ICloneable, System.IDisposable

Remarks

A UniConnection object represents a unique connection to the server. Use it in conjunction with UniCommand, UniDataReader, UniDataAdapter or other components for convenient interoperation with database.

When you create an instance of UniConnection, all properties are set to their initial values. For a list of these values, see the UniConnection Constructor constructor.

If the UniConnection goes out of scope, it is not closed. Therefore, you must explicitly close the connection by calling Close.

A single UniConnection can be used by many UniCommand objects on the assumption that all operations will be done consecutively. In other words, you can not execute a SQL statement while an asynchronous operation is in progress.

Example

The following example creates a UniCommand and a UniConnection. The UniConnection is opened and set as the Connection property. The example then calls Devart.Common.DbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery method, and closes the connection. To accomplish this, the Devart.Common.DbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery is passed a connection string and a query string that is SQL INSERT statement.

csharp

public void InsertRow(string myConnectionString)
{
  // If the connection string is empty, use default.
  if(myConnectionString == "")
  {
    myConnectionString = "Provider=SQL Server;Data Source=SERVER;Initial Catalog=Northwind;User ID=sa";
  }
  UniConnection myConn = new UniConnection(myConnectionString);
  string myInsertQuery = "INSERT INTO Test.Dept(DeptNo, DName) Values(50, 'DEVELOPMENT')";
  UniCommand myCommand = new UniCommand(myInsertQuery);
  myCommand.Connection = myConn;
  myConn.Open();
  try
  {
    myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
  }
  finally
  {
    myConn.Close();
  }
}

Visual Basic

Public Sub InsertRow(myConnectionString As String)
  ' If the connection string is empty, use default.
  If myConnectionString = "" Then
    myConnectionString = "Provider=SQL Server;Data Source=SERVER;Initial Catalog=Northwind;User ID=sa"
  End If
  Dim myConn As New UniConnection(myConnectionString)
  Dim myInsertQuery As String = "INSERT INTO Test.Dept(DeptNo, DName) Values(50, 'DEVELOPMENT')"
  Dim myCommand As New UniCommand(myInsertQuery)
  myCommand.Connection = myConn
  myConn.Open()
  Try
    myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
  Finally
    myConn.Close()
  End Try
End Sub
