SqlCnx.Open() no error when MSSQLServer db engine stopped

[Tom Moortgat]

Hi,
My VB.Net application doesn't receive a catch error when
the MS SQL Server 2000 database engine is suddenly
stopped.
In stead the sqlcnx.Open() command results in a 'open'
state although the database is not available. The program
continues on the next line in stead of going to
the 'catch ex as SQL Exception' .

What can I do?

Hi Tom,

Do you have after that SQL exception also a general exception?

....
Catch ex as SqlExecption
....
Catch ex as Exception
....
End Try
