Question

I’m working with an object that has a connection to the Database in the form of DBCommand.Connection, and another object that takes a connection to the database in the form of SQLConnection.

Persist security is Off so I can’t create a new SQLConnection since the password is stripped, any ideas of how I can do this?

Answer 1

If i understand your question correctly, you’re asking how to cast the DbCommand.Connection property (which is of type DbConnection) to a SqlConnection.

Since SqlConnection inherits of DbConnection you can simply cast it accordingly:

SqlConnection con = (SqlConnection) dbCommand.Connection;

Of course this assumes that the DbConnection is actually a SqlConnection.
