Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.dll)
Syntax
Public MustOverride Function Clone As DataConnection
Dim instance As DataConnection

public:
virtual DataConnection^ Clone() abstract
public abstract function Clone() : DataConnection
Return Value
Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.DataConnection
Returns a cloned instance of the current DataConnection object instance, with the same connection properties and state as the original.
Remarks
This method can be useful when a client wishes to perform an action with a connection on a background thread and does not want to hold up the main connection while the action is processing.
The cloned connection assumes the same state as the original; that is, if the original was closed, the new one is also closed.
Notes
Any exceptions that occur indicate that the cloned data connection was unable to initialize itself to the same state as this connection due to a provider specific problem.
