DataConnectionProperties Class

Definition

Provides support for the parsing and formatting of connection strings containing data connection properties, as well as for strongly typed property storage, custom attributes, and synonyms.

Constructors

DataConnectionProperties()

Initializes a non-parameterized instance of the DataConnectionProperties class.

DataConnectionProperties(IEqualityComparer<String>)

Initializes a parameterized instance of the DataConnectionProperties class that provides the ability to compare property names.

DataConnectionProperties(IEqualityComparer<String>, Char, Char)

Initializes a parameterized instance of the DataConnectionProperties class that provides the ability to compare property names.

Properties

Count

Gets the number of existing data connection properties.

IsComplete

Gets a Boolean value indicating whether a given connection string is complete.

IsExtensible

Gets or sets a Boolean value indicating whether the DDEX provider connection properties are extensible.

Item[String]

Gets or sets a value for a specified property of the DDEX provider.

Keys

Gets a collection of the current property key names.

OrderedProperties

Gets a collection of property names specifying a reasonable (or necessary) order for the properties when represented in string form.

Values

Retrieves a collection of the current property values.

Methods

Add(String, Object)

Adds a new property to the current connection properties collection.

Add(String, Type, Object)

Adds a new property to the current connection properties collection.

AddProperty(PropertyDescriptor, Attribute[])

Dynamically adds a new property to the collection of properties natively recognized by the current instance of the DataConnectionProperties class.

AddProperty(String, Type, Attribute[])

Dynamically adds a new property to the collection of properties natively recognized by this data connection properties instance.

Contains(KeyValuePair<String,Object>)

Tests whether a specified property and its values are present in the current set of connection properties.

ContainsKey(String)

Tests whether a specified property is a member of the current set of connection properties.

CopyTo(KeyValuePair<String,Object>[], Int32)

Copies the current set of connection properties and their values to the specified array, starting at the specified array index.

GetKeyAsString(String)

Formats a property key for placement in a connection string.

GetProperties()

Retrieves the collection of descriptors of all currently known properties.

GetProperties(Attribute[])

Retrieves the collection of descriptors of currently known properties that match a specified set of attributes.

GetProperty(String)

Retrieves the descriptor of a property with the specified property name.

GetSynonyms(String)

Retrieves an array list of synonyms for a specified property.

GetValueAsString(String)

Formats a property value for placement in a connection string.

Initialize(IDictionary<String,Object>)

Initializes the current DataConnectionProperties instance to its default state, and then sets each property in the specified dictionary.

InitializeProperties()

Initializes the set of natively recognized properties for the current DataConnectionProperties instance.

InitializeSynonyms()

Initializes the set of synonyms available for each natively recognized property in the current DataConnectionProperties instance.

InitializeValue(String, Object)

Initializes the value of a specified connection property.

InitializeValues(IDictionary<String,Object>)

Initializes values for a specified set of properties, using a dictionary of name/value pairs.

IsSensitive(String)

Indicates whether a property contains sensitive information.

ModifyProperty(String, Attribute[])

Modifies an existing property of which the current DataConnectionProperties instance is natively aware.

OnPropertyChanged(PropertyChangedEventArgs)

Raises the PropertyChanged event.

Parse(String)

Disassembles the components of a connection string into a set of properties in the current DataConnectionProperties instance.

ReadKeyFromString(String, Int32)

Reads a property key name from a connection string starting at a specified index, and then updates the index to point to a position immediately following the property key name.

ReadValueFromString(String, String, Int32)

Reads a property value from a connection string starting at a specified index, converts it to the correct type, and updates the index to point to a position following the property name.

Remove(String)

Removes a property from the current connection property collection.

RemoveProperty(String)

Removes a natively recognized property from the current collection of properties.

Reset()

Resets the values of connection properties to an initial state.

Reset(String)

Removes the specified property from the current set of data connection properties.

ResolveProperty(String, Boolean)

Looks up the specified property in the list of synonyms and optionally makes this property the primary name for the synonyms collection, if it is not already so.

SetPropertySynonyms(String, String[])

Sets or clears the synonyms for the specified property.

ShouldPersistProperty(String)

Indicates whether a property should be persisted when building a connection string.

ToDisplayString()

Retrieves a string representation of the current set of data connection properties that are suitable for on-screen display.

ToSafeString()

Retrieves a string representation of the current set of data connection properties that excludes sensitive properties or properties that should not be persisted.

ToString()

Retrieves the default string representation of the current connection properties.

TryGetValue(String, Object)

Retrieves the value of the specified property.

Events

PropertyChanged

Occurs on the occurrence of a change to a connection property.
