I want to cache the connection string and used cached object throughout my project. I tried like below
public static void Demo()
{
Hashtable Hashtable = new Hashtable()
Hashtable.Add("WEBConnectionString", ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["WEBConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
HttpContext.Current.Application["CachedValue"] = Hashtable;}
public static string Method(string key)
{
string result = string.Empty;
Hashtable CachedObject = (Hashtable)HttpContext.Current.Application["CachedValue"];
if (CachedObject != null && CachedObject.ContainsKey(key))
{
result = CachedObject[key].ToString();
}
return result;
}
and accessing like this
string conString = Utility.Method("WEBConnectionString");
but CachedObject.ContainsKey(key) condition getting false. What am I doing wrong here? or is there any other method to cache the connection string.
This should work (in a somewhat generic way):
public class HttpContextCache
{
public void Remove(string key)
{
HttpContext.Current.Cache.Remove(key);
}
public void Store(string key, object data)
{
HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert(key, data);
}
public T Retrieve<T>(string key)
{
T itemStored = (T)HttpContext.Current.Cache.Get(key);
if (itemStored == null)
{
itemStored = default(T);
}
return itemStored;
}
}
Anywhere you find appropriate in your code:
// cache the connection string
HttpContextCache cache = new HttpContextCache();
cache.Store("WEBConnectionString", ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["WEBConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
// ...
// get connection string from the cache
HttpContextCache cache = new HttpContextCache();
string conString = cache.Retrieve<string>("WEBConnectionString");
My first thought is why would you cache it? It's configuration data and should be quick enough to fetch every time you need it.
If you really need caching, there are more modern alternatives to HttpContext.Current.Application.
You can use a IOC container as suggested in the comments and configure it as a singletion instance. Seems overkill to setup a IOC container for that purpose though. If you're having multiple servers and you want to make sure they have the same state consider using a distributed cache like Redis.
Other alternatives are storing the connection string in a static variable, use MemoryCache, HttpRuntime.Cache or HttpContext.Current.Cache.
Example using a lazy static variable:
private static Lazy<string> ConnectionString = new Lazy<string>(() => ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["YourConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
// Access the connection string: var connectionString = ConnectionString.Value;

I have read lots of information about page caching and partial page caching in a MVC application. However, I would like to know how you would cache data.
In my scenario I will be using LINQ to Entities (entity framework). On the first call to GetNames (or whatever the method is) I want to grab the data from the database. I want to save the results in cache and on the second call to use the cached version if it exists.
Can anyone show an example of how this would work, where this should be implemented (model?) and if it would work.
I have seen this done in traditional ASP.NET apps , typically for very static data.
Here's a nice and simple cache helper class/service I use:
using System.Runtime.Caching;
public class InMemoryCache: ICacheService
{
public T GetOrSet<T>(string cacheKey, Func<T> getItemCallback) where T : class
{
T item = MemoryCache.Default.Get(cacheKey) as T;
if (item == null)
{
item = getItemCallback();
MemoryCache.Default.Add(cacheKey, item, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(10));
}
return item;
}
}
interface ICacheService
{
T GetOrSet<T>(string cacheKey, Func<T> getItemCallback) where T : class;
}
Usage:
cacheProvider.GetOrSet("cache key", (delegate method if cache is empty));
Cache provider will check if there's anything by the name of "cache id" in the cache, and if there's not, it will call a delegate method to fetch data and store it in cache.
Example:
var products=cacheService.GetOrSet("catalog.products", ()=>productRepository.GetAll())
Reference the System.Web dll in your model and use System.Web.Caching.Cache
public string[] GetNames()
{
string[] names = Cache["names"] as string[];
if(names == null) //not in cache
{
names = DB.GetNames();
Cache["names"] = names;
}
return names;
}
A bit simplified but I guess that would work. This is not MVC specific and I have always used this method for caching data.
I'm referring to TT's post and suggest the following approach:
Reference the System.Web dll in your model and use System.Web.Caching.Cache
public string[] GetNames()
{
var noms = Cache["names"];
if(noms == null)
{
noms = DB.GetNames();
Cache["names"] = noms;
}
return ((string[])noms);
}
You should not return a value re-read from the cache, since you'll never know if at that specific moment it is still in the cache. Even if you inserted it in the statement before, it might already be gone or has never been added to the cache - you just don't know.
So you add the data read from the database and return it directly, not re-reading from the cache.
For .NET 4.5+ framework
add reference: System.Runtime.Caching
add using statement:
using System.Runtime.Caching;
public string[] GetNames()
{
var noms = System.Runtime.Caching.MemoryCache.Default["names"];
if(noms == null)
{
noms = DB.GetNames();
System.Runtime.Caching.MemoryCache.Default["names"] = noms;
}
return ((string[])noms);
}
In the .NET Framework 3.5 and earlier versions, ASP.NET provided an in-memory cache implementation in the System.Web.Caching namespace. In previous versions of the .NET Framework, caching was available only in the System.Web namespace and therefore required a dependency on ASP.NET classes. In the .NET Framework 4, the System.Runtime.Caching namespace contains APIs that are designed for both Web and non-Web applications.

Steve Smith did two great blog posts which demonstrate how to use his CachedRepository pattern in ASP.NET MVC. It uses the repository pattern effectively and allows you to get caching without having to change your existing code.
http://ardalis.com/Introducing-the-CachedRepository-Pattern
http://ardalis.com/building-a-cachedrepository-via-strategy-pattern
In these two posts he shows you how to set up this pattern and also explains why it is useful. By using this pattern you get caching without your existing code seeing any of the caching logic. Essentially you use the cached repository as if it were any other repository.
I have used it in this way and it works for me.

AppFabric Caching is distributed and an in-memory caching technic that stores data in key-value pairs using physical memory across multiple servers. AppFabric provides performance and scalability improvements for .NET Framework applications. Concepts and Architecture
Extending #Hrvoje Hudo's answer...
Code:
using System;
using System.Runtime.Caching;
public class InMemoryCache : ICacheService
{
public TValue Get<TValue>(string cacheKey, int durationInMinutes, Func<TValue> getItemCallback) where TValue : class
{
TValue item = MemoryCache.Default.Get(cacheKey) as TValue;
if (item == null)
{
item = getItemCallback();
MemoryCache.Default.Add(cacheKey, item, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(durationInMinutes));
}
return item;
}
public TValue Get<TValue, TId>(string cacheKeyFormat, TId id, int durationInMinutes, Func<TId, TValue> getItemCallback) where TValue : class
{
string cacheKey = string.Format(cacheKeyFormat, id);
TValue item = MemoryCache.Default.Get(cacheKey) as TValue;
if (item == null)
{
item = getItemCallback(id);
MemoryCache.Default.Add(cacheKey, item, DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(durationInMinutes));
}
return item;
}
}
interface ICacheService
{
TValue Get<TValue>(string cacheKey, Func<TValue> getItemCallback) where TValue : class;
TValue Get<TValue, TId>(string cacheKeyFormat, TId id, Func<TId, TValue> getItemCallback) where TValue : class;
}
Examples
Single item caching (when each item is cached based on its ID because caching the entire catalog for the item type would be too intensive).
Product product = cache.Get("product_{0}", productId, 10, productData.getProductById);
Caching all of something
IEnumerable<Categories> categories = cache.Get("categories", 20, categoryData.getCategories);
Why TId
The second helper is especially nice because most data keys are not composite. Additional methods could be added if you use composite keys often. In this way you avoid doing all sorts of string concatenation or string.Formats to get the key to pass to the cache helper. It also makes passing the data access method easier because you don't have to pass the ID into the wrapper method... the whole thing becomes very terse and consistant for the majority of use cases.
Here's an improvement to Hrvoje Hudo's answer. This implementation has a couple of key improvements:
Cache keys are created automatically based on the function to update data and the object passed in that specifies dependencies
Pass in time span for any cache duration
Uses a lock for thread safety
Note that this has a dependency on Newtonsoft.Json to serialize the dependsOn object, but that can be easily swapped out for any other serialization method.
ICache.cs
public interface ICache
{
T GetOrSet<T>(Func<T> getItemCallback, object dependsOn, TimeSpan duration) where T : class;
}
InMemoryCache.cs
using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.Caching;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
public class InMemoryCache : ICache
{
private static readonly object CacheLockObject = new object();
public T GetOrSet<T>(Func<T> getItemCallback, object dependsOn, TimeSpan duration) where T : class
{
string cacheKey = GetCacheKey(getItemCallback, dependsOn);
T item = MemoryCache.Default.Get(cacheKey) as T;
if (item == null)
{
lock (CacheLockObject)
{
item = getItemCallback();
MemoryCache.Default.Add(cacheKey, item, DateTime.Now.Add(duration));
}
}
return item;
}
private string GetCacheKey<T>(Func<T> itemCallback, object dependsOn) where T: class
{
var serializedDependants = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dependsOn);
var methodType = itemCallback.GetType();
return methodType.FullName + serializedDependants;
}
}
Usage:
var order = _cache.GetOrSet(
() => _session.Set<Order>().SingleOrDefault(o => o.Id == orderId)
, new { id = orderId }
, new TimeSpan(0, 10, 0)
);
public sealed class CacheManager
{
private static volatile CacheManager instance;
private static object syncRoot = new Object();
private ObjectCache cache = null;
private CacheItemPolicy defaultCacheItemPolicy = null;
private CacheEntryRemovedCallback callback = null;

}

{
get
{
if (instance == null)
{

}
}
}
return instance;
}
}
public IEnumerable GetCache(String Key)
{
if (Key == null || !allowCache)
{

}
try
{

String strLog = String.Concat("Reason: ", arguments.RemovedReason.ToString(), " | Key-Name: ", arguments.CacheItem.Key, " | Value-Object: ", arguments.CacheItem.Value.ToString());
LogManager.Instance.Info(strLog);
}
}
I use two classes. First one the cache core object:
public class Cacher<TValue>
where TValue : class
{
#region Properties
private Func<TValue> _init;
public string Key { get; private set; }
public TValue Value
{
get
{
var item = HttpRuntime.Cache.Get(Key) as TValue;
if (item == null)
{
item = _init();
HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert(Key, item);
}
return item;
}
}
#endregion
#region Constructor
public Cacher(string key, Func<TValue> init)
{
Key = key;
_init = init;
}
#endregion
#region Methods
public void Refresh()
{
HttpRuntime.Cache.Remove(Key);
}
#endregion
}
Second one is list of cache objects:
public static class Caches
{
static Caches()
{
Languages = new Cacher<IEnumerable<Language>>("Languages", () =>
{
using (var context = new WordsContext())
{
return context.Languages.ToList();
}
});
}
public static Cacher<IEnumerable<Language>> Languages { get; private set; }
}
I will say implementing Singleton on this persisting data issue can be a solution for this matter in case you find previous solutions much complicated
public class GPDataDictionary
{
private Dictionary<string, object> configDictionary = new Dictionary<string, object>();
/// <summary>
/// Configuration values dictionary
/// </summary>
public Dictionary<string, object> ConfigDictionary
{
get { return configDictionary; }
}
private static GPDataDictionary instance;
public static GPDataDictionary Instance
{
get
{
if (instance == null)
{
instance = new GPDataDictionary();
}
return instance;
}
}
// private constructor
private GPDataDictionary() { }
} // singleton
HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert("subjectlist", subjectlist);
You can also try and use the caching built into ASP MVC:
Add the following attribute to the controller method you'd like to cache:
[OutputCache(Duration=10)]
In this case the ActionResult of this will be cached for 10 seconds.
More on this here
What is the custom wen the record inserting/updating is carried out?
I have this Log table in the MS SQL server database, and a C# class (example is simplified)
[Table(Name = "dbo.Sys_Log")]
public class Sys_Log
{
// Read-only, db-generated primary key ID
private int _logID;
[Column(IsPrimaryKey=true, Storage="_logID", IsDbGenerated=true)]
public int logID
{
get
{
return this._logID;
}
}
// Read-only db-generated datetime field
private System.DateTime _logTime;
[Column(Storage="_logTime", IsDbGenerated=true)]
public System.DateTime logTime
{
get
{
return this._logTime;
}
}
// Read-write string field
private string _logEvent;
[Column(Storage="_logEvent")]
public string logEvent
{
get
{
return this._logEvent;
}
set
{
this._logEvent = value;
}
}
public Sys_Log() {}
public Sys_Log(string logEvent)
{
this.logEvent = logEvent;
}
}
And this is how I add a log entry:
Table<Sys_Log> linqLog = db.GetTable<Sys_Log>();
Sys_Log l = new Sys_Log("event");
linqLog.InsertOnSubmit(l);
db.SubmitChanges();
I am not particularly happy about this code. I'd like something like this instead:
Sys_Log.Log("event");
I have idea how this can be achieved, but I'd like to know if I am following the LINQ philosophy. With this code added to the Sys_Log class
private static DataContext db;
public static void Connect(DataContext db)
{
Sys_Log.db = db;
}
public static void Log(string logEvent)
{
Table<Sys_Log> linqLog = db.GetTable<Sys_Log>();
Sys_Log l = new Sys_Log(logEvent);
linqLog.InsertOnSubmit(l);
db.SubmitChanges();
}
I can now do this:
Sys_Log.Connect(db); // Only once, at init
Sys_Log.Log("event1");
Sys_Log.Log("event2");
Are there any pitfalls, apart from the fact that the database is updated several times, that could be considered ineffective?
************** Update ******************
Following the advice of #usr not to reuse the DataContext object, I have made these changes to the Sys_Log class:
private static SqlConnection db;
public static void Connect(SqlConnection db)
{
Sys_Log.db = db;
}
public static void Log(string logEvent)
{
DataContext ctx = new DataContext(db);
ctx.CommandTimeout = 240;
Table<Sys_Log> linqLog = ctx.GetTable<Sys_Log>();
Sys_Log l = new Sys_Log(logEvent);
linqLog.InsertOnSubmit(l);
ctx.SubmitChanges();
}
Use a fresh data context each time. Reusing the same context has to catastrophic consequences:
No entity memory is ever released
When an invalid entity enters the context (due to a bug) it is stuck and will forever prevent SubmitChanges from succeeding. The application will never recover
Also note, that L2S is deprecated and EF has superseded it.
You can share a SqlConnection and use it long-term if you really want. That requires, through, that you deal with broken connections. Thanks to connection pooling there are little performance incentives to do this.
It usually is the easiest and most clear way to use throw-away connections. Inject a factory, for example:
Func<SqlConnection> myFactory = () => new SqlConnection(myConnStr);
That's all there is to it. Use it, as always, with using:
using(var conn = myFactory()) { ... }
I am trying to store data in asp.net application with signalr. To ilustrate my problem here is example.
I have a hub that informs controll that user has connected and sends his id.
public static event EventHandler<IdEventArgs> userConnected;
public void Connected()
{
Debug.WriteLine("Hub Connected Method");
var id = Context.ConnectionId;
userConnected(this, new IdEventArgs(id));
}
Then I have my controller that adds event handler to hub
public ActionResult Index()
{
LoadingHub.userConnected += new EventHandler<IdEventArgs>(UserConnected);
return View();
}
And finally my method that should save the obtained data
private void UserConnected(object sender, IdEventArgs e)
{
Debug.WriteLine("User Connected with Id: " + e.Id);
//To do:
//save data
}
I tryed saving to Session but Session object is null here. I came across user profiles and maybe this would be a good solution - is it possible to create new profile when user connects to store data inside, and when he disconects to destroy said profile? Or maybe completly diffrent approach is more siutable here?
As already mentioned in comments, Session is not available with SignalR. I'd say you have 2 main options:
use the state feature, as explained here, this way your data will go back and forth over the connection but you'll have it around as long as the connection is alive (ideal for small payloads and if you don't mind clients accessing that info)
use dependency injection (check here) to pass a service to your hub, whose interface you define as you will (it could be a trivial pair of get/set methods), and whose implementations could be many, from an in-memory static (not necessarily literally) dictionary for dev scenarios up to any kind of persistent store you want to use to provide horizontal scalability (if needed). It's a bit of effort at the beginning but then it gets very easy and flexible
I will give example for solution where you need to create Singleton service for holding connections for user. It is easy to modify to hold any type of data. Just need to inject it in required service, controller
public class ConnectionMapping<TConnectionKey>
{
private readonly Dictionary<TConnectionKey, HashSet<string>> _connections =
new Dictionary<TConnectionKey, HashSet<string>>();
public int Count
{
get
{
return _connections.Count;
}
}
public void Add(TConnectionKey key, string connectionId)
{
lock (_connections)
{
HashSet<string> connections;
if (!_connections.TryGetValue(key, out connections))
{
connections = new HashSet<string>();
_connections.Add(key, connections);
}
lock (connections)
{
connections.Add(connectionId);
}
}
}
public IReadOnlyList<string> GetConnections(TConnectionKey key)
{
HashSet<string> connections;
if (_connections.TryGetValue(key, out connections))
{
return new List<string>(connections);
}
return new List<string>();
}
public void Remove(TConnectionKey key, string connectionId)
{
lock (_connections)
{
HashSet<string> connections;
if (!_connections.TryGetValue(key, out connections))
{
return;
}
lock (connections)
{
connections.Remove(connectionId);
if (connections.Count == 0)
{
_connections.Remove(key);
}
}
}
}
public string ToJson()
{
var entries = _connections.Select(d =>
string.Format("\"{0}\": [\"{1}\"]", d.Key, string.Join(",", d.Value)));
return "{" + string.Join(",", entries) + "}";
}
}
First of all I read this on an article - which basically tells me I should not be using a singleton at all -
Most commonly, singletons don't allow any parameters to be specified when creating the instance - as otherwise a second request for an instance but with a different parameter could be problematic! (If the same instance should be accessed for all requests with the same parameter, the factory pattern is more appropriate.)
Since I need parameters, and same instances with same parameters - I concluded I need a factory pattern.
But I was unable to find a good factory pattern implementation anywhere.
Kindly direct me if you find any good c# singleton factory pattern implementation with parameters
Ok I am going to try and be very specific here... hope this explains my situation.
Alternate methods are most welcome. I just combined a lot of implementations - my understanding may be off.
So I have a class 'A'. It is a class used to connect to a database - Database connection.
The connection needs 4 parameters & the constraints are:
I need to have multiple connections possible - with different databases (parameters differ)
I need only 1 instance of a specific connection - a singleton with parameters which are same (in my understanding)
I will need a factory model as per the article mentioned above and also to limit the number of connections, close the connection after a timeout etc.
On this basis I need a singleton factory with paramenters/arguements... I assume
So the class A is going to look something like this
<which access modifier ?> Class A {
private Class A(string hostname, string port, string username, string pw_hash) {
//create a new instance with the specified parameters
}
//other methods on the connection
protected void close() {
//close the connection
}
}
public class AFactory//should it inherit class A?? {
private IList<A> connections = new List<A>();
private AFactory()
{
//do something
}
private static readonly Lazy<AFactory> lazy
= new Lazy<AFactory>(() => new AFactory());
public static AFactory Instance { get { return lazy.Value; } }
public A getA(string hostname, string service, string username, string pw_hash)
{
foreach (A a in A)
{
if (a.hostname == hostname && a.service == service && a.username == username)
return a;
}
A d = new A(hostname, service, username, pw_hash);
connections.Add(d);
return d;
}
Now this works well and good as long as the class A constructor is public - but It kind of defeats the purpose of a singleton.
What do I need to do to get this code to work.
I need only 1 instance of class A for the specified parameters.
Thanks

Factory is used to generate object rather than manage object. I think a DB connection manager is more suitable in your situation. You can declare the manager as singleton. For individual connection you can use internal class/struct.
See below example:
class DBConnectionManager
{
struct Connection
{
public string Hostname;
public string ServerName;
public string UserName;
public string Password;
public void Connect()
{
}
public void Close()
{
}
}
private static s_instance;
public static DBConnectionManager Instance
{
get {return s_instance; }
}
private List<Connection> m_connections;
public Connection GetConnection(string hostname, string serverName, string userName, string password)
{
// if already exist in m_connections
// return the connection
// otherwise create new connection and add to m_connections
}
public void CloseConnection(string hostname, string serverName, string userName, string password)
{
// if find it in m_connections
// then call Close()
}
public void CloseAll()
{
//
}
}
So I have done this and it works... can you tell me if it is correct. And also is it Thread-Safe?
public Class A
{
private A(string hostname, string port, string username, string pw_hash) {
//create a new instance with the specified parameters
}
//other methods on the connection
protected void close() {
//close the connection
}
public class AFactory
{
private IList<A> connections = new List<A>();
private AFactory()
{
//do something
}
private static readonly Lazy<AFactory> lazy
= new Lazy<AFactory>(() => new AFactory());
public static AFactory Instance { get { return lazy.Value; } }
public A getA(string hostname, string service, string username, string pw_hash)
{
foreach (A a in connections)
{
if (a.hostname == hostname && a.service == service && a.username == username)
return a;
}
A d = new A(hostname, service, username, pw_hash);
connections.Add(d);
return d;
}
}
}
I am using it like this:
A.AFactory fact = A.AFactory.Instance;
A conn = fact.getA(a, b, c, d);
A conn2 = fact.getA(e, f, g, h);
Is there something glaringly wrong with this implementation?
you could try this:
public static class Singlett<Param,T>
where T : class
{
static volatile Lazy<Func<Param, T>> _instance;
static object _lock = new object();
static Singlett()
{
}
public static Func<Param, T> Instance
{
get
{
if (_instance == null)
{
_instance = new Lazy<Func<Param, T>>(() =>
{
lock (Singlett<Param,T>._lock)
{
try
{
ConstructorInfo constructor = null;
Type[] methodArgs = { typeof(Param) };
constructor = typeof(T).GetConstructor(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic, null, methodArgs, null);// Binding flags excludes public constructors.
if (constructor == null)
{
constructor = typeof(T).GetConstructor(BindingFlags.Public, null, methodArgs, null);
if (constructor == null)
return delegate(Param o) { return (T)Activator.CreateInstance(typeof(T), new object[] { o }); };
}
return delegate(Param o) { return (T)constructor.Invoke(new object[] { o }); };
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
throw exception;
}
}
});
}
return _instance.Value;
}
}
}
then to use it:
instead of
int i = 10;
MyClass class = new MyClass(i);
you can write:
int i = 10;
MyClass class = Singlett<int,MyClass>.Instance(i);
Try this:
This interface is exposed from the factory initializer and contains the exposed methods and properties.
public interface IDatabase
{
string ConnectionString { get; set; }
IDataReader ExecuteSql(string sql);
}
Factory base abstract class where you can perform common features to different types of database factories.
public abstract class FactoryBase
{
public FactoryBase() { }
public abstract IDatabase GetDataLayer();
}
Concrete sql class that contains your calls. Have a look at the ExecuteSql method. The connection is self contained in the command so you don't have to worry about opening and closing and disposing of it.
public class SQL : IDatabase
{
private string m_ConnectionString = string.Empty;
public string ConnectionString
{
get { return m_ConnectionString; }
set { m_ConnectionString = value; }
}
public IDataReader ExecuteSql(string sql)
{
using (var command = new SqlCommand(sql, new SqlConnection(ConnectionString)) { CommandType = CommandType.Text, CommandText = sql, CommandTimeout = 0 })
{
if (command.Connection.State != ConnectionState.Open) command.Connection.Open();
return command.ExecuteReader();
}
}

Sql factory class that creates an instance of the Sql concrete class.
class SQLFactory : FactoryBase
{
public override IDatabase GetDataLayer()
{
return new SQL();
}
}
The factory initializer class that a developer will use to pass in a type of factory and it will return the IDatabase.
public static class FactoryInitializer
{
public static IDatabase LoadFactory<T>(string connectionstring) where T : FactoryBase, new()
{
var factory = new T();
var data = factory.GetDataLayer();
data.ConnectionString = connectionstring;
return data;
}
}
Then use it as:
var factory = FactoryInitializer.LoadFactory<SQLFactory>(connectionString);
factory.ExecuteSql("SELECT ...");
You can then create may be an OracleFactory and an Oracle concrete class and use it the same way.
I am trying to setup a Session factory with Nhibernate code by mapping, but I have issues configuring it, and its pretty hard to find guides to Code by mapping with the session factory.
Atm. I have this SessionManager, but I am uncertain where to specify its a MySQL database, proberly miss more.
public class SessionManager
{
private const string ConnString = "Server=localhost; Port=3306; Database=test; Uid=root; Pwd=123456;";
public static SessionManager CurrentInstance
{
get
{
if (_currentInstance == null)
{
object sync = new object();
lock (sync)
_currentInstance = new SessionManager();
}
return _currentInstance;
}
}
public static ISession Session
{
get
{
if (_sessionFactory == null)
{
object sync = new object();
lock (sync)
_sessionFactory = new Configuration()
.DataBaseIntegration(x => x.ConnectionString = ConnString)
.Configure()
.AddAssembly(typeof(EmployeeMap).Assembly)
.BuildSessionFactory();
}
return _sessionFactory.OpenSession();
}
}
private SessionManager() { }
static SessionManager _currentInstance;
static ISessionFactory _sessionFactory;
}
I think what you are trying to do is specify that you are using mysql. When I have done this I have used an NHibernate confiuration file with a line stating the driver_class:
<property name="connection.driver_class">NHibernate.Driver.MySqlDataDriver</property>
Try this tutorial
http://nhforge.org/wikis/howtonh/your-first-nhibernate-based-application.aspx
it describes the process of setting up your nhibernate session and shows a sample hibernate.cfg.xml file. In this set up you need to specify the MySqlDataDriver instead of the SQLServerCeDriver shown.
I don't know if you can do this without having to use a hibernate.cfg.xml
