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 \'Op

Answer 1

The .NET documentation says: State Property: A bitwise combination of the ConnectionState values

So I think you should check

!myConnection.State.HasFlag(ConnectionState.Open)

instead of

myConnection.State != ConnectionState.Open

because State can have multiple flags.
