Description
This code:
// See https://aka.ms/new-console-template for more information
using Microsoft.Data.SqlClient;
var conn = new SqlConnectionStringBuilder();
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Set Encrypt to SqlConnectionEncryptionOption type");
conn["Encrypt"] = SqlConnectionEncryptOption.Strict;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e);
}
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Set Encrypt to boolean false");
conn["Encrypt"] = false;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e);
}
Console.WriteLine(conn.ConnectionString);
Prints the following:
Set Encrypt to SqlConnectionEncryptionOption type
System.ArgumentException: Invalid value for key 'Encrypt'.

Given that there's client code floating around that uses the indexer to save copies of the properties in a dictionary then writes them back using the indexer in order to capture parameters without knowing their names and types ahead of time, at minimum the indexer should allow one to set Encrypt
to an instance of SqlConnectionEncryptionOption
. It'd be nice if it supported a bool setter too.
Otherwise in SSMS 20 we'll have to modify the designer code to special case this option to convert the stored value to a string.
