hi friends,

In my project i write a connection like below,.

C#
string MyConString = "SERVER=192.168.1.100;" + "DATABASE=mcs_kiosk;" + "UID=root;" + "PASSWORD=;";
                  MySqlConnection connection = new MySqlConnection(MyConString);
                  MySqlCommand command = connection.CreateCommand();
                  MySqlDataReader Reader;
                  command.CommandText = "select * from mcs_hall";
                  connection.Open();
                  Reader = command.ExecuteReader();
                  while (Reader.Read())
                  {
                      txt_Code.Text = Reader[1].ToString();
                      txt_Name.Text = Reader[2].ToString();
                  }
                  connection.Close();


but this type connection load number of time,. so i want,

1. connection in xml or text file, for change MyConString.

2. program can read only one time the connection.

3. before the executing query, the connection want to check connection availability. if connection open execute query.

how to do this,. or give me any other idea.

thank u.

Just few thoughts...

Put your connection string into to App.Config:

XML
<connectionStrings>
  <add name="mysql"
    connectionString="Server=192.168.56.101;Database=mytest;Uid=mytest;Pwd=mytest"
    providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>


You can initialize your connection like this:
C#
ConnectionStringSettings connectString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[connectionString];

if (connectionString == null)
    throw new InvalidOperationException(String.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, DatabaseServiceMessages.ConnectionStringNotFound, connectionString));

_factory = DbProviderFactories.GetFactory(connectString.ProviderName);
if (_factory == null)
    throw new InvalidOperationException(String.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, DatabaseServiceMessages.ConnectionStringNotFound, connectString.ProviderName));

_connection = _factory.CreateConnection();
_connection.ConnectionString = connectString.ConnectionString;
_connection.Open();



Encapsulate everything to a static class (you can use singleton design pattern):
C#
public static class DbConnectionWrapper
{
  private static DbConnection _connection;

  public static DbConnection Connection
  {
    get 
    {
      if (_connection == null)
      {
      // setup new connection
      }
      else
      {
      // verify connection
      }
      return _connection;
    }
  }
}

what about a simple select, which should always work (such as "select 1")? If a DbException is thrown, try reconnect...
