Streaming Sql Server Opening Connection

So im trying to figure out a way to streamline establishing a connection with a sql db. In other words I don't want my app to 'hang' while its attempting to connect because the db might not be online or the users computer is not properly connected. Either way I wouldn't want the app to hang. Any ideas

.NET Development19

doing any form of connection will result in a delay, especially databases since they are expensive to work with. you could spin up another thread to do your database work, which will prevent the main thread (UI) from being unresponsive.

Hmm i was thinkin bout that, thanks
