SqlConnection.OpenAsync(CancellationToken) Method
Definition

Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
An asynchronous version of Open(), which opens a database connection with the property settings specified by the ConnectionString. The cancellation token can be used to request that the operation be abandoned before the connection timeout elapses. Exceptions will be propagated via the returned Task. If the connection timeout time elapses without successfully connecting, the returned Task will be marked as faulted with an Exception. The implementation returns a Task without blocking the calling thread for both pooled and non-pooled connections.

- cancellationToken
- CancellationToken
The cancellation instruction.
Returns
A task representing the asynchronous operation.
Exceptions
Calling OpenAsync(CancellationToken) more than once for the same instance before task completion.
A connection was not available from the connection pool before the connection time out elapsed.
Any error returned by SQL Server that occurred while opening the connection.
Remarks
After calling OpenAsync, State must return Connecting until the returned Task is completed. Then, if the connection was successful, State must return Open. If the connection fails, State must return Closed.
A call to Close will attempt to cancel or close the corresponding OpenAsync call.
