11 The Sybase Entity Framework Data Provider : Configuring Connection String Options

Configuring Connection String Options
Connection string options can be defined directly in a connection string, or set in the Advanced Properties dialog box in Visual Studio (see “Defining Connection String Values in Server Explorer”.
Constructing a Connection String
“Sybase Data Provider Connection String Options” lists the connection string options supported by the Sybase Entity Framework data provider, and describes each option. The options have the form:
option=value
Each connection string option value pair is separated by a semicolon. For example:
"Host=Accounting1;Port=4100;User ID=angela;Password=qu3sts;Database Name=Accounting"
See “Using Connection Strings” for guidelines for the syntax and use of connection string options.
Default Values for Connection String Options
“Sybase Data Provider Connection String Options” describes the connection string options. Table 11-1 lists the connection string options the Sybase data providers support, along with the default values for each option.
0x10 or ShowParameterDirections
Changes in Default Values for Connection String Options
Most default values of the connection string options used by the ADO.NET Entity Framework Sybase data provider are the same as those used by the Sybase ADO.NET data provider (see “SybaseConnection Class” for more information). Table 11-2 lists the connection string options that have a different default value when used with an ADO.NET Entity Framework application.
