I want to programmatically generate the Windows datalink window, so the end
user can choose the database of his choice, and get back the connection
string he generates, using the DataLink window.

I had some old COM code a long time ago (with vb6) - - but I need to know
how to do it at least with VB.Net 2005

Any code, or web pages with code?
