More information to add : Am using Bytefx 0.76 :
I simplify the testing by using frmA call frmB. In frmB, I do the following : Private Sub frmB_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Try xx = New MySqlConnection xx.ConnectionString = "Data Source=127.0.01;" & _ "Database=good;" & _ "User ID=root;" & _ "Password=;" xx.Open() xx.Close() xx.ConnectionString = "" xx.Dispose() MsgBox("Closed") Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(Err.Number & ex.Message) End Try End Sub In frmA, I have this tied to a button Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim frm As frm_single frm = New frm_single frm.Show() End Sub I press button1 in frmA, when frmB shows up, I close frmB, I press button1 again in frmA and I get the following error: Pooling exception: Unable to find original pool for connection Regards TweeWan -----Original Message----- From: tweewan.wong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 April 2004 15:02 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Using BYTEFX to connect to MySql , closing connection do not release the connection. Hi, Encounter an interesting here using VB.NET with ByteFx.mysql.mysqlclient to connect to Mysql Database. I have a sub-form (called from another main form) with 4 mysqlconnections declared and new. X1= new mysqlconnection X1.connectionstring = <a valid connection string> X1.open() X2= new mysqlconnection X2.connectionstring = <a valid connection string> X2.open() X3= new mysqlconnection X3.connectionstring = <a valid connection string> X3.open() X4= new mysqlconnection X4.connectionstring = <a valid connection string> X4.open() Msgbox("Phase 1") X1.close() X2.close() X3.close() X4.close() Msgbox ("Phase 2") I am using MySQL Administrator to monitor the connection , at the Phase 1 break point I can see that 4 connection is allocated. And at Phase 2 , I expect the connection will be closed, but to my surprise, it did not. Not until I quit entire application. Then I see the connections are release. Anyone has encounter this before and any pointers for me to investigate further?
