DataContext Constructor (IDbConnection)
Initializes a new instance of the DataContext class by referencing the connection used by the .NET Framework.
Namespace: System.Data.Linq
Assembly: System.Data.Linq (in System.Data.Linq.dll)
Parameters
- connection
- Type: System.Data.IDbConnection
The connection used by the .NET Framework.
A DataContext opens and closes a database connection as needed if you provide a closed connection or a connection string. In general, you should never have to call Dispose on a DataContext. If you provide an open connection, the DataContext will not close it. Therefore, do not instantiate a DataContext with an open connection unless you have a good reason to do this. In a System.Transactions transaction, a DataContext will not open or close a connection to avoid promotion.
Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core Role not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core Role supported with SP1 or later; Itanium not supported)
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.
