Remarks
The following are allowed state changes:
- From - Closedto- Open, using the Open method.
- From - Opento- Closed, using either the Close or Dispose method.
Note
Calling the State property on an open connection increases application overhead because each such call causes a SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_DEAD call to the underlying ODBC driver to determine whether the connection is still valid.
