Hello all:
I would like to find out how does .net (or windows?) handles a database
connection. Is .net resolving the database name somehow? Is there a
procedure
where .net handles the connection to a database or does the
responsibility gets passed down to the operating system? If the OS
handles the database connection, what is the method used to resolve the
server name? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Web tutorials and
other advise is welcome.

Thanks in advance.
