Is there an existing SqlConnection that I can use in LinqPad?

Question

I am trying to test out some Dapper stuff using LinqPad.

Dapper needs a SqlConnection (IDbConnection really) to work. I could construct my own in the code window, but I thought if LinqPad already had made one, I would just use that.

Does LinqPad have a SqlConnection object already hanging around that I could use?

Did you try this?

this.Connection

It's a DataContext, after all.

I had tried it, but not hard enough. I needed to open it for it to work. – Vaccano Mar 29 '12 at 16:36
The connection should already be open in current versions of LINQPad. – MovGP0 Feb 17 '20 at 08:48
