Host Property

Syntax:

public string Host{ get; set; }

Description:

Type: System.String

Gets or sets the current host information in the connection string. The host information specifies how the ADO .NET Data Provider should connect to the RDM database. There are two options. The first is via TCP/IP to an rdm-tfs process running somewhere (on the same machine or on the network somewhere). If this options is specified, the Host property should be set to the hostname or IP address of the rdm-tfs. If this option is specified, the Port property will be used as well.

The second option is to connect to the RDM database via the Platform Invoke Services (direct calls into the unmanaged code of the RDM database code). This is faster, but some applications may not wish to include calls to unmanaged code. If this option is specified, the Host property to should be set to 'local' and the Port property will be ignored.

Exceptions:

None
