Question

Is it possible to use Mini-Profiler with Simple.Data Library? I use it to get data from MySql like this:

var db = Database.OpenConnection(ConnectionString);
var book = db.Books.FindById(id);

How can I user Profiler with this code?

Answer 1

You can tell Simple.Data to use a pre-existing connections and wrap your connection with a profiled connection:

var db = Database.OpenConnection(ConnectionString);
using (var rawCnn =  new MySqlConnection(ConnectionString)) 
using (var profiledCnn = new MvcMiniProfiler.Data.ProfiledDbConnection(rawCnn, MiniProfiler.Current);
{
    profiledCnn.Open();
    ((AdoAdapter)db.GetAdapter()).UseSharedConnection(profiledCnn);
    book = db.Books.FindById(id);
    ((AdoAdapter)db.GetAdapter()).StopUsingSharedConnection();
}
