I have a static function in a class, everytime I call this function, I am
creating a SQLconnection, open it, use it, and null it, All my functions and
application logic is like this,

Every connection is creating self connection object and null it after the
some process,

Is this wrong ?

One of my friend told me about "Connection Pooling", and I am confused
enough, Only one connection can be used in all part of the applicaton
(whether web or windows application)

//

using System.Data;

using System.Data.SqlClient;

using System.Configuration;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Security;

using System.Web.UI;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

public class Langs

{

public Langs()

{

}

public static void GetLanguageList()

{

SqlConnection ConnLocal = new
SqlConnection(DataFace.GetSQLConnectionString());

try

{

SqlCommand CommLocal = new SqlCommand();

CommLocal.Connection = ConnLocal;

CommLocal.CommandText += "SELECT bla bla bla";

ConnLocal.Open();

SqlDataReader rdLocal =
CommLocal.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);

if (rdLocal.HasRows)

{

while (rdLocal.Read())

{

}

if (rdLocal.IsClosed != false)

{

rdLocal.Close();

}

}

catch (Exception Exx)

{

throw Exx

}

finally

{

ConnLocal = null;

}

}

}

Connection Pooling is automatically taken care by ADO.NET Managed Providers.

See www.betav.com/blog/billva and search for "pooling" or "connecting".

I can't speak for pooling, but don't you need to either Close() your
SqlConnections, rather than just cutting them off? The server will kill them
automatically, eventually, but you may generate hundreds of connections
first, and that can be a performance hit. Perhaps the GC and Dispose() will
take care of it, but that might not happen right away, either.
