ConnectionManager Members

Article
12/15/2008

Provides the information that you must have to connect to a data source. All classes that inherit from the ConnectionManager contain the same properties and methods. The ConnectionManager class isolates the implementation details of the different connection types from the runtime. This enables the runtime to interact with each connection manager in a consistent and predictable manner. Connection managers contain a set of stock properties that all connections have in common, such as the Name, ID, Description, and ConnectionString. However, each connection type has additional properties that are specific to that connection type. These can be accessed through the Properties collection.This class cannot be inherited.

The following tables list the members exposed by the ConnectionManager type.

Public Properties

	Nom	Description
	ConnectionString	Gets or sets the connection string used to establish a connection to a data source.
	CreationName	Returns the string that is used by the runtime to create an instance of the ConnectionManager object and to add the object to the Connections collection. This property is read-only.
	DelayValidation	Gets or sets a Boolean that indicates whether package validation is delayed until the package runs.
	Description	Gets or sets the description of the ConnectionManager object.
	HostType	Gets an enumeration that describes the type of host that the connection is being used by. This property is read-only.
	ID	Gets the ID of the ConnectionManager. This property is read-only.
	InnerObject	Returns the specific connection type that was created. This property is read-only.
	Name	Gets or sets the name of the ConnectionManager object.
	Properties	Gets a collection of property objects for the ConnectionManager. This is the method of accessing the properties of the specific connection that is being hosted by the connection manager. This property is read-only.
	ProtectionLevel	Gets or sets the level of encryption performed on sensitive data that is contained in the package.
	Site
	SupportsDTCTransactions	Returns a Boolean that indicates if the connection supports Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) transactions.
