Description
When enumerating a connection property dictionary of a rdbms-based provider, exceptions are thrown when attempting to enumerate a property that is not available until a connection is opened. (eg. DataStore for MySQL provider)
I am guessing this is expected behaviour (no problems there), but there should be a method on the connection dictionary to determine if a given connection property requires the connection to be open or not.
In my generic connection dialog for FDO Toolbox, I currently have to suppress any thrown exceptions and store the names (of the properties that threw exceptions) to re-inspect again (and re-prompt the user) once the connection has been opened (connection state moved from pending to open). This is quite cumbersome.
