Description

The State property's description on this page says "Gets a string that describes the state of the connection." and down below, "The format of the string returned depends on the specific type of connection you are using."

But the property is not typed as string at all, but as ConnectionState, which is an enum.

The State property description on the DbConnection class page likewise needs to be fixed.
