Provider Property (DbProviderFactory)

Gets a reference to the default configured DbProvider instance

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Property Provider As DbProvider

public static DbProvider Provider {get; set;}

Property Value

A reference to the default configured DbProvider instance

Remarks

While the CreateProvider Method will return a new default provider instance, it creates a new one every time. It is more efficient to use the primary default provider instance. DbProvider implementations are required to be thread safe, so it is OK to use a single instance in this fashion.

Requirements

Platforms: Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows Server 2003 family
