In my VB .Net winforms application, how can I maintain a connection to my database?
I have a VB .NET Windows form application(Not a web application). When I press a button on the form, it will connect to the database and load data into a GridView control. That works great, but several other forms also need a database connection. So here is my question. Is there a way to make my database connection more persistent so that it can be accessed anywhere in the application? If so, how would I do it?
Thanks in advance.
