what if the database connection isn't close

[Joe Abou Jaoude]

I m assuming that there's a bug in a vb.net application, and in some
cases the connections to the database are not being closed. So what
happen ? will this cause some performance issues or does the garbage
collector close the connection while disposing the connection object ?

Joe,

I never heard about a bug of that however recomended is to close or when
there is connection pooling dispose your connection, when you don't know
that, just dispose. Dispose does close as well.

I hope this helps,

You must manually close the connection with myConnection.close(), otherwise
the object will be released but the connection will stay open.
