title: Does SqlDataSource keep the database connection open at all times?
body: <p>Basically I have a website that I am working on where there will be over 8 listboxes filled with information from databases. I currently use <code>SqlDataSource</code> because of ease of use and am using it currently databound to the listboxes. </p>
  
  <p>Does <code>SqlDataSource</code> leave the connection open the whole time? I want to eliminate from an website architectural standpoint any unnecessary continuously open connections for security reasons as well as performance reasons.</p>
