c# - Check if SQL Connection is Open or Closed

Question

How do you check if it is open or closed I was using

 if (SQLOperator.SQLCONNECTION.State.Equals("Open"))

however, even the State is 'Open' it fails on this check.

Answer 1

You should be using SqlConnection.State

e.g,

using System.Data;

if (myConnection != null && myConnection.State == ConnectionState.Closed)
{
   // do something
   // ...
}
