Remarks

You can use this method’s return value to initialize a Session’s connection string (for instance, via the Session.ConnectionString or XpoDefault.ConnectionString property).

Note

The GetConnectionString method’s return value 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.
