In Excel I can go to Data -> Import External Data -> Import Data… and then select the data source to use and then after I provide login information it gives me a list of tables. I would like to know how to get that list programmatically using C#.
What type of data source are you interrogating? SQL Server? Access?
Look at this thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/bcf25d16-3ecd-427d-9ad2-57619d6b3691
Also documentation for the OdbcConnection.GetSchema Method here:

This may work for you: OdbcConnection.GetSchema(“Tables”)
