SUMMARY

The System.Data namespace contains an enumeration that is named ConnectionState that describes the current state of the connection to a data source.

The "ConnectionState Enumeration" topic on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) states the following:

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

The statement should read as follows:

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of all its member values except for Closed (which is zero).
