ConnectionString, ConnectionTimeout, and State Properties Example (VJ++)

This example demonstrates different ways of using the ConnectionString property to open a Connection object. It also uses the ConnectionTimeout property to set a connection timeout period, and the State property to check the state of the connections. The GetState function is required for this procedure to run.

// BeginConnectionStringJ
import com.ms.wfc.data.*;
import java.io.* ;

public class ConnectionStringX
{
   // The main entry point for the application.

   public static void main (String[] args)

      System.exit(0);
   }

   // ConnectionStringX function

   static void ConnectionStringX()

      // Define ADO Objects.

         new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));
      String line = null;

         cnConn1.setCommandTimeout(30);
         cnConn1.open();

         // 'MyUserId' and password as 'MyPassword'.

         cnConn2.setConnectionString("DSN='Pubs';UID='MyUserId';PWD='MyPassword';");
         cnConn2.open();
         strTemp = getState(cnConn2.getState());
         System.out.println("CnConn2 state: " + strTemp);

         strTemp = getState(cnConn3.getState());
         System.out.println("CnConn3 state: " + strTemp);

         // Open a connection using a DSN and individual
         // arguments instead of a connection string.
         // It is assumed that you have create DSN 'Pubs' with a user name as 
         // 'MyUserId' and password as 'MyPassword'.
         cnConn4 = new Connection();
         cnConn4.open("Pubs", "MyUserId", "MyPassword");
         strTemp = getState(cnConn4.getState());
