Is There Any Difference Between SqlConnection.CreateCommand and new SqlCommand?

Question

In .Net, is there any functional difference between creating a new SqlCommand object and attaching a SqlConnection to it and calling CreateCo

Answer 1

No, they are the same thing.

I disassembled SqlConnection.CreateCommand and found this:

public SqlCommand CreateCommand()
{
        return new SqlCommand(null, this);
}

which proves that they really are the same thing.
