I am using ADOX to make changes to an Access database that would be
difficult to do via the System.Data.OLE DBClient. So far I have no
trouble actually doing the work, however, I have trouble closing the
connection to the Access database.
//open connection
ADOX.CatalogCla ss connection = new ADOX.CatalogCla ss();
connection.let_ ActiveConnectio n(this.Connecti onString);
//do the work
....
//close the connection
((ADODB.Connect ion) connection.Acti veConnection).C lose();
Marshal.Release ComObject(conne ction);
Even though the code to close the connection does cause an error, it
doesn't actually close the connection, because if I try to connect to
the database later, it errors out saying that it is exclusively locked.
How do I actually close the connection created via ADOX?
Thanks 4 10745
Frank,
Just off the top of my head, do you have connection pooling turned on?
Perhaps this has something to do with it.
Also, did you dispose of the catalog class properly?

Well, I guess that's the crux of the matter. How does one dispose of it
properly?
I thought
Marshal.Release ComObject(conne ction);
will do the trick.
Frank,
Yes, you are releasing the connection, but that is not the only COM
object there is. There is also the catalog object.

Connection is the catalog object. Consider the code:
//open connection
ADOX.CatalogCla ss connection = new ADOX.CatalogCla ss();
connection.let_ ActiveConnectio n(this.Connecti onString);
//do the work
....
//close the connection
((ADODB.Connect ion) connection.Acti veConnection).C lose();

a left outer join). I'm including the code that creates the
relationships with the inner join. Any help or suggestions would be

Something weird I have run into when trying to add a boolean field to an
Access table by code.
-Just wondering if anyone else has run into this. ( vb.net 2005 express )
If I add any other field other than boolean the "command" version of adding
a field works great.
But if I try to add a boolean field, I get an exception error when its
trying to be added, so instead I have to use the function meathod.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
