Overloaded. Initializes a new instance of the OdbcConnection class.

Public Properties

ConnectionString	Gets or sets the string used to open a data source.
ConnectionTimeout	Gets or sets the time to wait while trying to establish a connection before terminating the attempt and generating an error.
Container (inherited from Component)	Gets the IContainer that contains the Component.
Database	Gets the name of the current database or the database to be used after a connection is opened.
DataSource	Gets the server name or file name of the data source.
Driver	Gets the name of the ODBC driver specified for the current connection.
ServerVersion	Gets a string containing the version of the server to which the client is connected.
Site (inherited from Component)	Gets or sets the ISite of the Component.
State	Gets the current state of the connection.

Public Methods

BeginTransaction	Overloaded. Begins a transaction at the data source.
ChangeDatabase	Changes the current database associated with an open OdbcConnection.
Close	Closes the connection to the data source. This is the preferred method of closing any open connection.
CreateCommand	Creates and returns an OdbcCommand object associated with the OdbcConnection.
CreateObjRef (inherited from MarshalByRefObject)	Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object.
Dispose (inherited from Component)	Overloaded. Releases the resources used by the Component.
EnlistDistributedTransaction	Enlists in the specified transaction as a distributed transaction.
Equals (inherited from Object)	Overloaded. Determines whether two Object instances are equal.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object)	Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject)	Retrieves the current lifetime service object that controls the lifetime policy for this instance.
GetType (inherited from Object)	Gets the Type of the current instance.
InitializeLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject)	Obtains a lifetime service object to control the lifetime policy for this instance.
Open	Opens a connection to a data source with the property settings specified by the ConnectionString.
ReleaseObjectPool	Indicates that the ODBC Driver Manager environment handle can be released when the last underlying connection is released.
ToString (inherited from Object)	Returns a String that represents the current Object.

Public Events

Disposed (inherited from Component)	Adds an event handler to listen to the Disposed event on the component.
InfoMessage	Occurs when the ODBC driver sends a warning or an informational message.
StateChange	Occurs when the state of the connection changes.

Protected Properties

DesignMode (inherited from Component)	Gets a value that indicates whether the Component is currently in design mode.
Events (inherited from Component)	Gets the list of event handlers that are attached to this Component.

Protected Methods

Dispose	Overloaded. Overridden. Releases the resources used by the OdbcConnection.
Finalize (inherited from Component)	Overridden. Releases unmanaged resources and performs other cleanup operations before the Component is reclaimed by garbage collection. In C# and C++, finalizers are expressed using destructor syntax.
GetService (inherited from Component)	Returns an object that represents a service provided by the Component or by its Container.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object)	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
