DataContext Constructor(IDbConnection)

In This Topic

Initializes a new instance of the DataContext class by referencing the connection used by the .NET Framework.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Function New( _
   ByVal connection As IDbConnection _
)

public DataContext( 
   IDbConnection connection
)

Parameters

connection: The connection used by the .NET Framework.

Remarks

A DataContext opens and closes a database connection as needed if you provide a closed connection or a connection string. In general, you should never have to call Dispose on a DataContext. If you provide an open connection, the DataContext will not close it. Therefore, do not instantiate a DataContext with an open connection unless you have a good reason to do this. In a System.Transactions transaction, a DataContext will not open or close a connection to avoid promotion.

Requirements

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
