AccessConnectionProviderMultiUserThreadSafe.GetConnectionString(String) Method

Returns a connection string to the specified Microsoft Access data base.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpo.DB

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpo.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public static string GetConnectionString(
    string database
)

VB.NET

Public Shared Function GetConnectionString(
    database As String
) As String

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
database	String	A string that specifies the path and name of the data base to connect to.

Returns

Type	Description
String	A connection string.

Remarks

The value returned by this method can be used to initialize a Session’s connection string (for instance, via the Session.ConnectionString or XpoDefault.ConnectionString property).

The database parameter specifies the name of the database. If the full path is omitted, it is assumed that the database resides in the same folder as the application’s executable file.

This method sets the connection string’s “User ID” field to “Admin”, and the password to an empty string.

Note

The string returned by the GetConnectionString method contains an extra parameter that identifies the database type to which a connection should be established, so it’s not fully compatible with the standard connection string format. When a Session receives this connection string it removes this extra parameter and then passes the valid connection string to the database.
