Parameters
- provider
Type: System.Guid
The unique identifier of a DDEX provider.
- connectionString
Type: System.String
An unencrypted or encrypted provider-specific connection string.
- encryptedString
Type: System.Boolean
Indication whether the connectionString parameter is unencrypted or encrypted. Provides true if encrypted.
Return Value
Type: System.Boolean
Returns true if the current connection's information is equivalent to connection information for the specified connection; otherwise returns false.
Remarks
This method is a convenience wrapper around the EquivalentTo method, sidestepping the need to manually create two DataConnectionProperties instances, configure both, and then call the EquivalentTo method on one of them, passing in the other.
