Released: General Availability of Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 3.0

[Kent Sharkey]

Microsoft SQL Server blog[^]:

This .NET Data Provider for SQL Server provides general connectivity to the database and supports all the latest SQL Server features for applications targeting .NET Framework, .NET Core, and .NET Standard.

Because you needed a nice, long debugging session due to not noticing _Microsoft_.Data.SqlClient vs. _System_.Data.SqlClient

[Richard Deeming]

Hey, it's not like one of my apps used the wrong SqlConnectionStringBuilder, which generated a connection string with the wrong version of the ApplicationIntent property for the SqlConnection I was using or anything. :doh: System[^] only supports ApplicationIntent; Microsoft[^] supports Application Intent or ApplicationIntent; the Microsoft connection string builder uses Application Intent. No idea why they had to change it though.
