SqlCeConnection.State Property

Gets the current state of the connection.

Namespace: System.Data.SqlServerCe
Assembly: System.Data.SqlServerCe (in system.data.sqlserverce.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property State As ConnectionState
'Usage
Dim instance As SqlCeConnection
Dim value As ConnectionState

value = instance.State
public override ConnectionState State { get; }
public:
virtual property ConnectionState State {
    ConnectionState get () override;
}
/** @property */
public ConnectionState get_State ()
public override function get State () : ConnectionState
Not applicable.

Property Value

A bitwise combination of the ConnectionState values. The default is Closed.

Remarks

The allowed state changes are:

  • From Closed to Open, by using the Open method of the connection object.

  • From Open to Closed, by using either the Close method or the Dispose method of the connection object.

Note

Calling the State property increases application overhead because each call results in a call to the OLE DB DBPROP_CONNECTIONSTATUS property for an open connection.
