After Update from 3.0.4 to 3.0.13 | ExecuteReader requires an open and available Connection. The connection's current state is Connecting

[Tobias Bartsch]

Hello,

after updating to the latest version of westwind utilities i get an InvalidOperationException while initiating a AppConfiguration with an SqlServerConfigurationProvider.

This is my Default-Provider

protected override IConfigurationProvider OnCreateDefaultProvider(string sectionName,
                                                                object configData)
{
    string connectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DefaultConnection"].ConnectionString;
    string tableName = "ApplicationConfiguration";

    var providerSql = new SqlServerConfigurationProvider<ApplicationConfiguration>()
    {
        ConnectionString = connectionString,
        Tablename = tableName,
        Key = 1,
    };

    return providerSql;
}

With the old version everything works as expected

i initiate the the ApplicationConfiguration within the contructor of a static class. And i am calling it in the Application_Start() of my MVC-Application.

I can't duplicate this. It works for me both in .NET Standard and Net45 modes for the tests configured for it.

The error seems to suggest that there's a problem with the connection - perhaps being slow to respond data connection?

Internally the SqlDataAccessProvider creates creates a command which in turn calls Open Connection:

 if (_Connection.State != ConnectionState.Open)
                _Connection.Open();

I'm guessing there's something else happening in your application perhaps that's using the same SQL connection asynchronously and it's in a mixed state of some sort? I dunno. Maybe this will help https://stackoverflow.com/a/9707060/11197.
