Through the information I have found searching here on stackoverflow, I have what I think is 90% of this solved but because of how OleDbConnection is converted to define SqlConnection, the call to the class with the connection and test script wants definition I am unsure how to provide.
I've used these pages to get what I have so far
How to create an SqlConnection in C# to point to UDL file
Calling an SQL Connection method in C#
private static string CONNECTION_NAME = @"C:\Temp\DisplayDB.udl";
public static class MyConnection
{
public static SqlConnection GetSqlConnection()
{
var udlInfo = new OleDbConnection($"File Name={CONNECTION_NAME}");
return CreateSqlConnection(udlInfo);
}
public static SqlConnection CreateSqlConnection(OleDbConnection udlInfo)
{
try
{
string CONNECTION_STRING = $"Database={udlInfo.Database};Server={udlInfo.DataSource};User ID=User;Password=13245;Integrated Security=True;connect timeout = 30";
var connection = new SqlConnection(CONNECTION_STRING);
connection.Open();
return connection;
}
catch
{
Console.WriteLine($"{CONNECTION_NAME} Not found");
return null;
}
}
}
private void DBCheck()
{
// The line below is my issue, mouseover error of ".CreateSqlConnection"
// says there is no argument given that corresponds to the required
// formal parameter 'udlInfo' of
// 'MainWindow.MyConnection.CreateSqlConnection(OleDbConnection)'
using (var con = MyConnection.CreateSqlConnection())
{
con.Open();
var command = new SqlCommand("IF DB_ID ('CodeTest') IS NULL " +
"BEGIN " +
"USE MASTER " +
"CREATE DATABASE CodeTest" +
" END", con);
var reader = command.ExecuteReader();
reader.Close();
con.Close();
}
}
I expect the WPF to use the Database and Server from the UDL file to make the SqlConnection so I can run queries and commands. I understand the security part of UDL in plain text but I do not want hard coded values as this application will be used in various environments nor do I want those values to need definition on each launch of the app.
var con = MyConnection.GetSqlConnection()?
