[RESOLVED] [2005] has anyone used this namespace before (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.AdoDotNet)

[vbdotnetboy]

i'm trying to create a new Microsoft.VisualStudio.Data.AdoDotNet.AdoDotNetConnectionSupport object however it needs a parameter called providerName for the constructor. I've tried using System.Data.SqlClient with no success all the members in the underlying object are null. If anyone has any idea what the providerName should be please tell me. I've googled but with no results except it listing all the members and basic information, no examples. thanx in advance

What are you trying to do, may I ask?

[vbdotnetboy]

provide a way for a user to setup a connection string much like you can from within the IDE. providing them with with all the advance features. i figured if it exists not sense re-creating the wheel. unless there is some easier way... i'm all ears

[jmcilhinney]

Just use a form with the appropriate controls and ConnectionStringBuilder of the appropriate type.
