Setting the connection on each page request or per app (DNN module)

    Setting the connection on each page request or per app (DNN module)

    Hello,
     
    This may be a silly question but I may be doing this inefficiently.
     
    In your GetStarted manual it mentions Configless connections, and it has this sentence "Note that you only need to do this once for the life of your application."
     
    In the previous version of ES I was creating the connection in the Page_Init of every page (its the Poker League Management module on PokerDIY).
     
    Code:
            protected void Page_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            new SmartThinker.DNN.Modules.League.Business.Utils().SetupESConnection();
        }

     
    Should I cache the connection (or a flag that it has been done once for this module already) once it has been set and check it each time? I do not have access to the web config or Global.asax. Or should I at the very least only instantiate it if it is not a postback?
      
    Thanks

    You only need to call that routine once from your view control init/load it sets it for the whole app domain. The routine I linked to checks, so it doesn't hurt to call it again.

    Ah ok - I was going to write something like this - I will move it into an "IsPostBack" check so it will cut down the calls a bit anyway.

    That is what I do as well...
    Code:
    if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
	SetConnection();
	//yada yada yada
}
