title: System.Data.SqlClient and Multiple Active Result Sets (MARS )
body: <p>I have a question about the default value of the MultipleActiveResultSets parameter and System.Data.SqlClient. </p>
  
  <p>The MSDN article about MARS states that the default value of MultipleActiveResultSets parameter in a connection string is false, and, unless specifically set to True, the MARS capability is disabled. </p>
  
  <p>Although I came across a few posts online which indicates that when using System.Data.SqlClient it enables MARS be default, unless the user specifically sets MultipleActiveResultSets=false on the connection string, Which means that if this paramter is omitted from the connection string, MARS capability is enabled. </p>
  
  <p>I was just wondering: when using SqlClient without specifing the   MultipleActiveResultSets parameter in the connection string, does MARS capability is enabled?</p>
