Using reflection to get provider specific OLE DB properties

I am building a generic data access component.

The module pulls a list of all the OLE DB providers
currently installed on the machine (using the registry)
and allows the user to select a provider and input
connection info.

In most cases this work fine.

Where I run into trouble is when the provider has custom
properties that I need to set but can't seem to find using
reflection.

The custom properties don't appear when I use the
GetMember or GetItems methods.

Does anyone know how to "see" OLE DB provider specific
properties using reflection?
