If I close and dispose an ODBCConnection object, shouldn't the
connection actually close? I have found that even after closing and
disposing an ODBCConnection, the database it was connected to still
has an active connection as long as the application is still running.
I have to close the application to actually close the active
connection to the database. Is this normal behaviour? Is there a way
to really close the connection while the application is still running?

Yes it is. The ODBC connection is a pool and will be active for some time
usually 15 minutes and another request can use it.
This is how ODBC works and when the application is closed normally all the
pooled ODBC connections are closed.

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't calling GC.Collect() also clear out the
ODBC connection pool?

if you use Oledb connection using ADO.net instead of odbc you can have a
better control of closing the connections yourself.

What is the difference ?
Docs for OdbcConnection say:
Note
To deploy high-performance applications, you frequently must use
connection pooling. However, when you use the .NET Framework Data
Provider for ODBC, you do not have to enable connection pooling because
the provider manages this automatically.
Docs for OleDbConnection says:
Note
To deploy high-performance applications, you must use connection
pooling. When you use the .NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB, you
do not have to enable connection pooling because the provider manages
this automatically.
The wording is slightly different, but the substance seems identical.

GC releases memory for objects that are unreachable.
The connections is a connection pool are obvious
reachable.

I have an MDI application with a number of child windows. In each child

In my application I need a way to distiguish between the following events:

My application does certain logic when the user actually closes the MDI

however, should not execute this logic if the user closes the MDI parent. I...

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action

What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child
forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms, remove the
controls on each of them, and then close the form, but this code should

Does it make sense to put this
If e.Cancel Then Exit Sub
at the beginning of form closing events so if the user cancels the app's
exiting in one Closing routine he will not be asked again by another when
its form Closing routine is run?
I guess what I'm asking is will that work. If one form sets e.cancelled to
true will e.cancel be true when the next form receives a closing event?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
