Parameters

Name	Type	Description
path	String	A string value that specifies the name (including the path) of the XML document that includes both schema and data.

Returns

Type	Description
String	A string containing the connection string to an InMemoryDataStore instance.

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).

If you pass a null reference via the path parameter, the GetConnectionString method will return a connection string to create an InMemoryDataStore instance that is not bound to an XML file.
