dotnet ado.net: To keep a uniform visual interface, I used the DataLinks object (found in
MSDASC) and the Connection object (found in ADODB) when creating a connection
string in my VS2003 apps.

Is there a similar object available in VS2005? I like the ability to enter a
server name or IP, choose the authentication, select a database and test the
connection.

Hi Michael,

As far as I know, in VS.NET 2005, you still need to interop the OLE DB
Service Component 1.0 Type Library, and use the Data Link Properties dialog
box to achieve this. There is no managed control to do this in .NET
framework 2.0.
