How to run multiple SQL commands in a single SQL connection?

Question

I am creating a project in which I need to run 2-3 SQL commands in a single SQL connection. Here is the code I have written:

SqlConnection con = new SqlConn         


        

Answer 1

The following should work. Keep single connection open all time, and just create new commands and execute them.

using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
    connection.Open();
    using (SqlCommand command1 = new SqlCommand(commandText1, connection))
    {
    }
    using (SqlCommand command2 = new SqlCommand(commandText2, connection))
    {
    }
    // etc
}
