The data connection builder dialog is a database tool component that’s included in Visual Studio and helps you build a connection string to a database.
Last week though the standalone source code was published at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Connection/, so that anyone can use it to build a data connections independently of Visual Studio. According to the license, you can integrate and redistribute the source code with your application.
With the data connection dialog, you can perform following tasks:
- Build/Modify connection strings.
- Customize the data connection dialog.
- Write your own custom data providers.
Nice!

This was a really quality post. In theory I”d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
