        // Declares an IAdoDbConnection object
        public IAdoDbConnection _connection;

        // Instantiates the IAdoDbConnection object
        public IAdoDbConnectionExample()
        {
            // Gets the file location of appsettings.json
            string path = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(),
                "appsettings.json");

            // Creates a ConfigurationBuilder object and adds the JSON file
            var build = new ConfigurationBuilder();
            build.AddJsonFile(path);

            // Builds the IConfiguration object
            var Configuration = build.Build();

            // Gets the configuration information of school 
            // via IConfiguration object
            string schoolconnect = Configuration.GetConnectionString("school");

            // Connects to the database using the configuraiton information
            _connection = new SqlServerAdoDbConnection(schoolconnect);
        }

        public void Example()
        {
            // Opens the database connection
            _connection.Open();

            // Gets and shows the ConnectionId
            var id = _connection.ConnectionId;
            Console.WriteLine("ConnectionId = {0}", id);

            // Gets and shows the ConnectionString
            string connString = _connection.ConnectionString;
            Console.WriteLine("ConnectionString = {0}", connString);

            // Starts the database transaction
            _connection.BeginTransaction();

            // Gets and shows the current transaction ID
            var transaction = _connection.CurrentTransaction;
            Console.WriteLine("CurrentTransaction = {0}", transaction.TransactionId);

            // closes the database connection
            transaction.Rollback();
            _connection.Close();


            // The following code example creates a DbCommand object using the 
            // AdoDbConnection DbConnection property, and performs database query
            _connection.Open();

            var command = _connection.DbConnection.CreateCommand();
            command.CommandText = "Select Name From Department";

            // Performs data query
            var reader = command.ExecuteReader();

            while (reader.Read())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(reader.GetString(0));
            }

            // Releases resource and closes the database connection
            _connection.Close();
