I like the “Add Connection” or “SQL Connection” dialog that is in Visual Studio in Server Explorer window.
I also like the one in CodeSmith.
I would like to have that same dialog or simular functionality in my windows application.
I need it to work with SQL Server, and SQL Server Express Database files (*.mdf).
My clients have .NET 3.5 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 Express installed.
Is this a system dialog I can use? Is there an open source dialog like it? Thanks.
I was looking for exactly that, and it appears that Microsoft has published the source for the Visual Studio connection dialog, so that it can be used outside VS :
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Connection
I just tried it, it works fine 🙂
