Assembly: System.Data.SqlServerCe (in system.data.sqlserverce.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Property Connection As SqlCeConnection
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlCeCommand
Dim value As SqlCeConnection
value = instance.Connection
instance.Connection = value
public SqlCeConnection Connection { get; set; }
public:
property SqlCeConnection^ Connection {
SqlCeConnection^ get ();
void set (SqlCeConnection^ value);
}
/** @property */
public SqlCeConnection get_Connection ()
/** @property */
public void set_Connection (SqlCeConnection value)
public function get Connection () : SqlCeConnection
public function set Connection (value : SqlCeConnection)
Not applicable.
Property Value
The connection to a data source. The default value is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Exceptions
Exception type | Condition |
---|---|
The Connection property was changed while a transaction was in progress. |
Remarks
SQL Server Compact Edition supports multiple simultaneous connections as well as multiple commands sharing the same connection. Thus, it is possible to have multiple instances of SqlCeDataReader open on the same connection. This behavior differs from that of System.Data.SqlClient.
You cannot set the Connection, CommandType, and CommandText properties if the current connection is performing an Execute or Fetch operation.
If you set Connection while a transaction is in progress and the Transaction property is not a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), an InvalidOperationException is generated. If the Transaction property is not a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) and the transaction has already been committed or rolled back, Transaction is set to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Example
The following example creates a SqlCeCommand and sets the Connection property to a SqlCeConnection object.
Dim queryText As String = "SELECT * FROM Categories ORDER BY [Category ID]"
Dim cmd As New SqlCeCommand(queryText)
cmd.Connection = conn
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
string queryText = "SELECT * FROM Categories ORDER BY [Category ID]";
SqlCeCommand cmd = new SqlCeCommand(queryText);
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
