Windows already contains dialogs to choose a file or printer.
Is there a built-in dialog to select a database?
Ideally, it would work for databases other than SQL server and would expose a connection string.
Not that I’m aware of. The printer and file dialogs are baked into the operating system. Database not so much. The Data Sources (ODBC) isn’t really something I thought you could call from code easily and I don’t think it returns a connectionstring like you’re expecting.
