I would like to offer a database connection prompt to the user. I can build my own, but it would be nice if I can use something that somebody else has already built (maybe something built into Windows or a free library available on the Internet). Anybody know how to do this in .Net?
EDIT: I found this and thought it was interesting: Showing a Connection String prompt in a WinForm application. This only works for SQL Server connections though.
You might want to try using SQL Server Management Objects. This MSDN article has a good sample for prompting and connecting to a SQL server.
