Hello.

Could you please clarify the behavior of the following code example:

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    try
    {
        var connectionString =
            "Server=non-existent-server;Database=nonexistentDb;User ID=sa;Password=invalidPassword;max pool size=1000";
        var sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
        sqlConnection.Open();
        Console.WriteLine("Opened!");
        sqlConnection.Close();
    }
    catch (SqlException sqlException)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(sqlException.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine($"SQLException.Number: {sqlException.Number}");
    }
}

Running it on Windows 10 Pro 19044.2006 results in:

Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server.

SQLException.Number: 0

So is it expected behavior that SQLException.Number equals 0 on Linux and 53 on Windows (Seems like 53 is the inner Win32Exception error number, meanwhile the same exception on Linux has inner ExtendedSocketException and SQLException.Number equals 0). If so, are there any workarounds to determine the cause of connection error regardless of platform?

PS: The behavior is the same using System.Data.SqlClient or Microsoft.Data.SqlClient

Thanks,
Gleb
