Constructors

DataConnectionProperties()

Class constructor. Instantiates a non-parameterized instance of the DataConnectionProperties class.

DataConnectionProperties(IComparer, Char, Char)

Class constructor. Instantiates a parameterized instance of the DataConnectionProperties class that provides the ability to compare property names.

DataConnectionProperties(IComparer)

Class constructor. Instantiates a parameterized instance of the DataConnectionProperties class that provides the ability to compare property names.

Properties

IsComplete

Retrieves a Boolean value indicating whether a given connection string is complete.

IsExtensible

Retrieves or sets a Boolean value indicating whether the DDEX Provider connection properties are extensible.

Item[String]

Retrieves or sets a value for a specified property on the DDEX Provider.

OrderedProperties

Retrieves a collection of property names specifying a reasonable (or necessary) order for the properties when represented in string form.

Methods

Add(String)

Adds a new property to the current connection properties collection.

AddProperty(PropertyDescriptor, Attribute[])

Dynamically adds a new property to the collection of properties natively recognized by the current instance of the DataConnectionProperties class.

AddProperty(String, Type, Attribute[])

Dynamically adds a new property to the collection of properties natively recognized by this data connection properties instance.

Contains(String)

Tests whether a specified property is a member of the current set of connection properties.

EquivalentTo(DataConnectionProperties)

Retrieves a Boolean value indicating whether the current instance of the DataConnectionProperties class is equivalent to another DataConnectionProperties instance.

GetBasicProperties()

Retrieves an array of property names representing the set of "basic" properties known by the current DataConnectionProperties instance.

GetEnumerator()

Retrieves an enumerator that enumerates over all the known connection properties and their values, if any.

GetNameAsString(String)

Formats a property name for placement in a connection string.

GetProperties()

Retrieves the collection of descriptors of all currently known properties.

GetProperties(Attribute[])

Retrieves the collection of descriptors of currently known properties that match a specified set of attributes.

GetProperty(String)

Retrieves the descriptor of a property with the specified property name.

GetSynonyms(String)

Retrieves an array list of synonyms for a specified property.

GetValueAsString(String)

Formats a property value for placement in a connection string.

Initialize(IDictionary)

Initializes the current DataConnectionProperties instance to its default state, then sets each property in the specified dictionary.

InitializeProperties()

Initializes the set of natively recognized properties for the current DataConnectionProperties instance.

InitializeSynonyms()

Initializes the set of synonyms available for each natively recognized property in the current DataConnectionProperties instance.

InitializeValue(String, Object)

Initializes the value of a specified connection property.

InitializeValues(IDictionary)

Initializes values for a specified set of properties using a dictionary of name/value pairs.

IsSensitive(String)

Indicates whether a property contains sensitive information.

ModifyProperty(String, Attribute[])

Modifies an existing property of which the current DataConnectionProperties instance is natively aware.

OnPropertyChanged(DataConnectionPropertyChangedEventArgs)

Raises the PropertyChanged event.

Parse(String)

Disassembles the components of a connection string into a set of properties in the current DataConnectionProperties instance.

ReadNameFromString(String, Int32)

Reads a property name from a connection string starting at a specified index, then updates the index to point to a position immediately following the property name.

ReadValueFromString(String, String, Int32)

Reads a property value from a connection string starting at a specified index, converts it to the correct type, and updates the index to point to a position following the property name.

Remove(String)

Removes a property from the current connection property collection.

RemoveProperty(String)

Removes a natively recognized property.

Reset()

Resets the values of connection properties to an initial state.

Reset(String)

Resets the value of a specified connection property to its initial state.

ResolveSynonym(String, Boolean)

Attempts to resolves a synonym for the PropertyDescriptor associated with a base property by returning the base property descriptor.

SetSynonyms(String, String[])

Sets a list of strings as synonyms of a specified base property name.

ShouldPersistProperty(String)

Indicates whether a property should be persisted when building a connection string.

Test()

Tests to assure that the current set of connection properties will successfully open a connection.

ToDisplayString()

Retrieves a string representation of the current set of data connection properties that are suitable for on-screen display.

ToFullString()

Retrieves a string representation of the current set of data connection properties for this instance.

ToString()

Retrieves a full string representation of the current connection properties.

Events

PropertyChanged

Event that fires on the occurrence of a change to a connection property.
