Is there a free "Add Connection" or "SQL Connection" Dialog?

Question

I like the "Add Connection" or "SQL Connection" dialog that is in Visual Studio in Server Explorer window. I also like the one in CodeSmith. I would like to have that same dialog or simular functionality in my windows application.

I need it to work with SQL Server, and SQL Server Express Database files (*.mdf).

My clients have .NET 3.5 SP1 and SQL Server 2008 Express installed.

Is this a system dialog I can use? Is there an open source dialog like it? Thanks.

Answer 1

I was looking for exactly that, and it appears that Microsoft has published the source for the Visual Studio connection dialog, so that it can be used outside VS :

I just tried it, it works fine :)
