Remarks
The ConnectionError event fires if data store connection fails with current connection parameters (for instance, the database is inaccessible). You can handle the ConnectionError event and override the default behavior in this case.
To override the default behavior, do the following:
- Check the data source name for which the event has been raised using the DashboardConnectionErrorEventArgs.DataSourceName event parameter.
- Provide new connection parameters using the ConfigureDataConnectionEventArgs.ConnectionParameters property.
- Set the ConnectionErrorEventArgs.Handled property to true. This will cancel the default routine for providing connection parameters.
To cancel connecting to the data store, use the ConnectionErrorEventArgs.Cancel property.
To get the exception that caused the event, use the ConnectionErrorEventArgs.Exception property.
