Closed 7 years ago.
I have a connection string like this:
"SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=tree;UID=root;PASSWORD=branch;Min Pool Size = 0;Max Pool Size=200"
How do I get the various database parameters out of it? I can get database name and server like this:
serverName = conObject.DataSource;
dbName = conObject.Database;
I need the username and password as well similarly. No property is set on the MySqlConnection object.
At present I do it like this:
public static void GetDatabaseParameters(string connectionString, out string serverName, out string dbName, out string userName, out string password)
{
Match m = Regex.Match(connectionString, "SERVER=(.*?);DATABASE=(.*?);UID=(.*?);PASSWORD=(.*?);.*");
//serverName = m.Groups[1].Value;
//dbName = m.Groups[2].Value;
userName = m.Groups[3].Value;
password = m.Groups[4].Value;
}
Is there an accepted practice here?
