Re: invoke ado connection wizard at runtime C#

Re: invoke ado connection wizard at runtime C#: "Stumbled across this by accident while I was looking for something else:

Step 1:

Add references to:

Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.dll
Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.Dialog.dll

You will need to browse for them at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\Common7\IDE
(assuming that your VS2005 is installed to the default location)

Step 2:

Wherever you want to use it, execute:

Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.Dialog.DataConnectionDialog _dialog = new
Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.Dialog.DataConnectionDialog();


Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.Dialog.DataSource.AddStandardDataSources(_dialog);


Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI.Dialog.DataConnectionDialog.Show(_dialog);

You will need to have a play with it to find out how to use it because I
have no further information than that.
