GeneralSqlConnection and scope Pin

Hi all,

I've been laboriously opening and closing SqlConnections, SqlCommands and SqlDataReaders etc. until I recently found out about the nice using approach to all of that.

using (SqlConnection mySqlConnection = new SqlConnection(...))
{
   mySqlConnection.Open();
   using (SqlCommand mySqlCommand = new SqlCommand(...))
   {
      using (SqlDataReader mySqlDataReader = mySqlCommand.Execute())
      {
      ...
      }
   }
}


One thing that I am unsure about though has to do with the scope of a SqlConnection if used this way.

Let's say for instance that I have two functions that perform an action against the database, myFunc1() and myFunc2(). Inside each of these functions the SqlCommand and SqlDataReader is implemented. If a connection is established as described above, it will not have scope inside such a function:

using (SqlConnection mySqlConnection = new SqlConnection(...))
{
   myFunc1();
   myFunc2();
}


On the other hand I don't want to open the SqlConnection first in each function. I've heard talk of "connection pooling" so it might not be a problem to do so but I don't know about that. If anyone would care to explain conection pooling I'd appreciate.

But basically, my question is. Is there an elegant way of making the SqlConnection available to other functions that will be called from inside the using block or would it be better to have a good old instantiation of a SqlConnection class at the top, open it manually and then close it manually again?

I suppose one solution would be to pass the SqlConnection as a parameter to the function that will be working on it but for some reason I don't like that.

I'm sure there's an industry-wide accepted norm for doing this type of thing. Throughout the application there are references to the database but you don't want to open and close the DB connection every time.
