I have a rich application using Windows Forms and I don't use pattern like MVC, MVVM or any other patterns that can gives me nice control over my boudaries when creating and disposing UnitOfWork. For this reason, I have to create a lot of small UnitOfWork that create a lot of connection to the database because each UnitOfWork create his own personnal connection. With the ConnectionStrategy, I can now use my central connection to be use be all of my UnitOfWork. I have read a lot about how I can use UnitOfWork in rich application using Windows Forms but none of them works for me. I can create a UnitOfWork for each form open in my application because user can open dozen of them if he want. And if I open and close UnitOfWork with each having his own connection, the user action interacting with the database while changing value in controls can dramatically open a lot of connection. Thank you very much for this great feature. After finding this post, one of my biggest fear suddenly disappeared.
