I’ve got a c# WINDOWS Application that is multi-threaded. It is my understanding that in a web environment, connections are pooled automatically. It is also my understanding that in a Windows app, this is not the case. Therefore, for a Windows app, the same connection should be used and not closed after each call, but instead closed when the app shuts down.

I’m curious though – is my correct? If it is, can two threads use the same connection to get a dataset from the DB at the same time or is that functionality queued up?

Thanks

  1. The Connection Pooling is one feature of ADO.NET. Therefore the connections are already pooled. Not only in the web environment.
