Hi,
(newbie in C#) is it a good idea to use SQL Connection, SQL Data Adapter,...
in C#? when I am design a form, I can use SQL Connection and set the
properties to connect to a database. I guess after unloading the form, this
connection will be closed. but as I know, it's better to open a connection
when we need it and after using, we should close it. I can do it without
using SQL Connection component (by using SqlConnection class). now which one
is better? using SQL Connection is very easy but I'd like to have the best
performance.
thanks,
Mojtaba

Hi Mojtaba,
In designer you only design the connection - it won't open it for you thus
it won't make much difference.
Though I preffer to create it by code right before I need it and dispose it
as soon as possible.

also bear in mind Mojtaba that the SqlAdapter will dynamically open and
close the connection for you, so you should always let it do so (as opposed
to manually opening and closing the connection).

I tend to disagree.
You should manually open the connections if you have more than one operation
to do within the same connection.
Not to speak about Update when it is supposed to be a part of transaction
:-)

thanks Mark!
so a combination of SqlConnection, SqlDataAdapter, SqlCommand, and DataSet
(by drag and drop it from toolbox) has the same performance as open them in
source code? in source code, I use a "try" block to open the connection and
fill the DataAdapter and close the connection.
the reason of asking this question is that I am reading "Prof. C# 2nd
Edition" which teaches programming method of connection to a database. but I
downloaded a sample program which opens and works with data just by toolbox
components. I confused a little bit which method it's better.
thanks again

thanks Miha. I forgot to mention it on my previous post :)
just I wanted to let you know that I am using MySQLDirect connection (not
SqlConnection) but both they have the same components.

Hi!
I've been programming ASP for 5 years and am now learning PHP.
In ASP, you can use GetRows function which returns 2 by 2 array of
Recordset.
Actually, it's a recommended way in ASP when you access DB as it
disconnects the DB earlier.
Also, it's handy as you can directly access any data in the array
without looping.
