I’m trying to connect to a server that the user inputs. When the server doesn’t exist, I’d like to give a quick feedback to the end-user so he can correct what he’s typed.
Is there any way to test if a server exists before trying to connect ?
Thanks

Does your DBConnection have a ConnectionTimeout property? Try setting this to a small number.
