What is the Difference between Connection Pooling and Object Pooling?

[chinmay.sahoo]

Object Pooling is great in the sense that it can optimize access to expensive resources (like file handles or network connections) by pooling them in memory and reusing them as and when they are needed.

According to MSDN, "Object pooling lets you control the number of connections you use, as opposed to connection pooling, where you control the maximum number reached."
