Connection Pooling

Purpose

Shows how connections can be managed via a pool (ADO/Northwind & IBX/Employee connections).

Use the three pairs of Acquire/Release connection buttons to experiment with pooling. Note how connections timeout later than the Release call and how the delay depends on the selected PoolTimeoutSeconds value selected via the track bar.

Examine the code in ConnectionPoolingMain - you will see that it is minimal - all one or two liners.
