are System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection thread safe? can many threads share
a System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection instance without any synchronization?

quoting the docs:

"Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread
safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe."

that mean no.
