Generating connection string when old one is invalid

I was thinking that as I have had alot of help from people while learning VB.Net that I would try and give something back to the community.
So I decided to create a generic piece of code which would hopefully help some people. What I have created is a couple of forms which deal with checking to see if a connection string is working and if not then it provides the user with a couple forms which asks for details about the SQL Server that they would like to connect to, then produces a connection string for them and stores it, so that it wont need to be requested next time.

Currently I'm using the My.Settings to store the connection string which isn't a secure method, but as this is more to allow for people to have a look and see how they might be able to do this, I don't feel that this is a problem.

As far as any copyrights of intellectual property, do what ever you want with this, rip it apart, use it in personal/commercial applications if you want, you don't need to give any credit, although I wouldn't say no to a thanks below :D.

I'm also interested in peoples responses if they see something I've done which they know a better way of doing it (as that will also help me learn).

You'll want to re-attach the code without any compiled files.

Done, I'm assuming its to remove the possibility of malicious code being included in the exe, but not shown in the code?
