DbConnectionStringBuilder.EquivalentTo(DbConnectionStringBuilder) Method

Definition

Compares the connection information in this DbConnectionStringBuilder object with the connection information in the supplied object.

C#
public virtual bool EquivalentTo(System.Data.Common.DbConnectionStringBuilder connectionStringBuilder);

Parameters

connectionStringBuilder
DbConnectionStringBuilder

The DbConnectionStringBuilder to be compared with this DbConnectionStringBuilder object.

Returns

true if the connection information in both of the DbConnectionStringBuilder objects causes an equivalent connection string; otherwise false.

Examples

C#
static void Main()
{
    DbConnectionStringBuilder builder1 =
        new DbConnectionStringBuilder();
    builder1.ConnectionString =
        "Value1=SomeValue;Value2=20;Value3=30;Value4=40";
    Console.WriteLine("builder1 = " + builder1.ConnectionString);

    DbConnectionStringBuilder builder2 =
        new DbConnectionStringBuilder();
    builder2.ConnectionString =
        "value2=20;value3=30;VALUE4=40;Value1=SomeValue";
    Console.WriteLine("builder2 = " + builder2.ConnectionString);

    DbConnectionStringBuilder builder3 =
        new DbConnectionStringBuilder();
    builder3.ConnectionString =
        "value2=20;value3=30;VALUE4=40;Value1=SOMEVALUE";
    Console.WriteLine("builder3 = " + builder3.ConnectionString);

    // builder1 and builder2 contain the same
    // keys and values, in different order, and the
    // keys are not consistently cased. They are equivalent.
    Console.WriteLine("builder1.EquivalentTo(builder2) = " +
        builder1.EquivalentTo(builder2).ToString());

    // builder2 and builder3 contain the same key/value pairs in the
    // the same order, but the value casing is different, so they're
    // not equivalent.
    Console.WriteLine("builder2.EquivalentTo(builder3) = " +
        builder2.EquivalentTo(builder3).ToString());

    Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to continue.");
    Console.ReadLine();
}

This sample displays the following output:

builder1 = value1=SomeValue;value2=20;value3=30;value4=40
builder2 = value2=20;value3=30;value4=40;value1=SomeValue
builder3 = value2=20;value3=30;value4=40;value1=SOMEVALUE
builder1.EquivalentTo(builder2) = True
builder2.EquivalentTo(builder3) = False

Remarks

Comparisons on key names are case insensitive; value comparisons are case sensitive.

The EquivalentTo method returns true if the key/value pairs are equal, regardless of their order. The connection behavior of the two connection strings are equivalent, because order is never significant within connection strings. However, different order may affect connection pooling behavior of connections based on these connection strings.
