Property Value
Type: System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection
A collection of property names indicating a reasonable (or necessary) order to the properties.
Remarks
The base class implementation of ToDisplayString and ToFullString use the value of this property to determine the order of properties when building the properties order string. The default value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), indicating no order to the properties.
It is recommended that a data provider implement this property, as doing so helps make the connection string more user friendly.
As a general rule, more important, or basic, properties should occur earlier in the string, and more advanced properties should appear later in the string.
