Open Method

Opens a database connection with the property settings specified by the ConnectionString.

[Visual Basic]
Overrides Public Sub Open() 

[C#]
public override void Open();

Remarks

The DbConnectionBase draws an open connection from the connection pool if one is available. Otherwise, it establishes a new connection to the database.

Note: If the DbConnectionBase goes out of scope, the connection it represents does not close automatically. Therefore, you must explicitly close the connection by calling Close.

Opening an open connection does nothing.
