ADO.NET Connectionstring+pooling

[njdude]

When i run this

sp_who

I see the connection showing up and in the next second it is gone.


The connectionstring i have is

Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security
Info=False;pooling=true;Min Pool Size=2;Max Pool Size=50;Connection
Lifetime=120;Initial Catalog=test;Data Source=TESTMACHINE\SQLEXPRESS;


And then in the log, the log grows almost every second 3 entiries !!
"Login succeeded for user 'TESTMACHINE\User'. Connection: trusted...."
"Login succeeded for user 'TESTMACHINE\User'. Connection: trusted...."
"Login succeeded for user 'TESTMACHINE\User'. Connection: trusted...."


So the problem is that pooling does not seem to work. I dont see any
connections being held for more than 1 second

IIRC you can't affect the operation of the Connection pool with the OLE DB
provider (as you are attempting). One of the issues of the OLE DB provider
connection string is that any key you use that's not recognized is ignored.

First, if you want to access SQL Server with ADO.NET (and this IS an ADO.NET
newsgroup), you should use the SqlClient namespace not OleDb. In this case
your Connection string does not include the Provider key.

See Chapter 9 for more information.
