I’m developing a large scale website and when I was checking linq queries with SQL Profiler I found that there is about 30 login/logout actions. I want to decrease these actions by using an open connection for all DataContexts but I don’t know how to do it. Do you have any suggestion?
That is pretty bad idea – you are creating large scalable website so let Linq-to-sql handle connection itself.
Linq-to-sql internally handles connection opening and releasing in effective way for it usage. It uses default ADO.NET connection pooling so the connection is correctly reused and not opened for every single context.
Using single connection for all context is exactly what makes your application non scalable and not working. Single connection allows only single transaction so once two requests want to make concurrent changes and use their own transaction your application will crash.
Do not share contexts and do not share connections – let ADO.NET handle connection pooling and create new context for every single request or you can expect serious issues.
