Is there a way I can obtain the properties of the UIHierarchyItem items
from the Data Connections portion of the Server Explorer? How do I get
the connection information?

Is it possible for me to "Piggy-back" the connection Visual Studio has
so I don't have to prompt the user for a password when they've already
supplied one to Visual Studio?

Thanks.

Try if the UIHierarchyItem.Object property returns something useful for that
node.

The object property always returns itself (UIHierarchyItem).

I use reflection to determine the COM type.

Any other ideas?
