SqlDataSource控件的ConnectionString属性的设计时编辑器（UITypeEditor）。

本文链接：https://blog.csdn.net/musor/article/details/1584294

首先使用Reflector查看SqlDataSource的源码，我们能够看到ConnectionString属性的生命如下：

[Editor("System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls.SqlDataSourceConnectionStringEditor, System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a", typeof(UITypeEditor)), WebCategory("Data"), WebSysDescription("SqlDataSource_ConnectionString"), DefaultValue("")]




public virtual string ConnectionString

SqlDataSourceConnectionStringEditor就是ConnectionString的设计时编辑器，我们能够在System.Design.dll程序集中找到这个类。

通过Reflector我们能够找到它的声明：

public class SqlDataSourceConnectionStringEditor : ConnectionStringEditor
{
    // Methods
    public SqlDataSourceConnectionStringEditor();
    protected override string GetProviderName(object instance);
    protected override void SetProviderName(object instance, DesignerDataConnection connection);
}

SqlDataSourceConnectionStringEditor继承ConnectionStringEditor类，只是重载了GetProviderName,SetProvidername两个方法。

我们再来看看ConnectionStringEditor的声明：

public class ConnectionStringEditor : UITypeEditor
{
    // Fields
    private ConnectionStringPicker _connectionStringPicker;

    // Methods
    public ConnectionStringEditor();
    public override object EditValue(ITypeDescriptorContext context, IServiceProvider provider, object value);
    private static DesignerDataConnection GetCurrentConnection(Control control, string propertyName, string connectionString, string expressionPrefix); public override UITypeEditorEditStyle GetEditStyle(ITypeDescriptorContext context);
    protected virtual string GetProviderName(object instance);
    protected virtual void SetProviderName(object instance, DesignerDataConnection connection);
    }
}

我们重点看一下EditValue方法：

public override object EditValue(ITypeDescriptorContext context, IServiceProvider provider, object value)

{

    Control control = context.Instance as Control;

    if (provider != null)

    {

        IDataEnvironment service = (IDataEnvironment) provider.GetService(typeof(IDataEnvironment));

        if (service != null)

        {

            IWindowsFormsEditorService edSvc = (IWindowsFormsEditorService) provider.GetService(typeof(IWindowsFormsEditorService));

            if ((edSvc != null) && (context.Instance != null))

            {
                if (this._connectionStringPicker == null)

                {

                    this._connectionStringPicker = new ConnectionStringPicker();

                }

                string connectionString = (string) value;

                ExpressionEditor expressionEditor = ExpressionEditor.GetExpressionEditor(typeof(ConnectionStringsExpressionBuilder), provider);

                if (expressionEditor == null)

                {

                    return value;

                }

                string expressionPrefix = expressionEditor.ExpressionPrefix;

                DesignerDataConnection currentConnection = GetCurrentConnection(control, context.PropertyDescriptor.Name, connectionString, expressionPrefix);

                this._connectionStringPicker.Start(edSvc, service.Connections, currentConnection);

                edSvc.DropDownControl(this._connectionStringPicker);

                if (this._connectionStringPicker.SelectedItem != null)

                {

                    DesignerDataConnection connection = this._connectionStringPicker.SelectedConnection;

                    if (connection == null)

                    {

                        connection = service.BuildConnection(UIServiceHelper.GetDialogOwnerWindow(provider), null);

                    }

                    if (connection != null)

                    {

                        if (connection.IsConfigured)

                        {

                            ((IExpressionsAccessor) control).Expressions.Add(new ExpressionBinding(context.PropertyDescriptor.Name, context.PropertyDescriptor.PropertyType, expressionPrefix, connection.Name));

                            this.SetProviderName(context.Instance, connection);

                            IComponentChangeService service2 = (IComponentChangeService) provider.GetService(typeof(IComponentChangeService));

                            if (service2 != null)

                            {

                                service2.OnComponentChanged(control, null, null, null);

                            }

                        }

                        else

                        {

                            value = connection.ConnectionString;

                            this.SetProviderName(context.Instance, connection);

                        }

                    }

                }

                this._connectionStringPicker.End();

            }

            return value;

        }

    }

    string providerName = this.GetProviderName(context.Instance);

    ConnectionStringEditorDialog form = new ConnectionStringEditorDialog(provider, providerName);

    form.ConnectionString = (string) value;

    if (UIServiceHelper.ShowDialog(provider, form) == DialogResult.OK)

    {

        value = form.ConnectionString;

    }

    return value;

}
