Question

OK here my piece of code

MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection("Userid=root;pwd=root;port=3306;host=localhost;database=test");
conn.Open();

Due to some issue with the new version of the devart connector i’m using i have to add a line of code OldCompatibility.BinaryAsString = true;
everywhere in my code as shown below

OldCompatibility.BinaryAsString = true;
MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnectio("User id=root;pwd=root;port=3306;host=localhost;database=test");
conn.Open();

But the problem is i have to make this change all over my application which have many pages with this piece of code.So is there any way to do this globally so that i dont have to make this change all over my application.
i’m using devart connector 6

Answer 1

Assuming that your connection is remotely similar each time; don’t. Keep all your connection logic in one shared method, and use that instead of repeating the connection code everywhere.

public static MySqlConnection Connect() {
    OldCompatibility.BinaryAsString = true;
    MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection("User id=root;pwd=root;port=3306;host=localhost;database=test");
    conn.Open();

    return conn;
}
