The URL won't help much--it just shows examples of typical (and some pretty
bizarre) connectionstrings.
I've seen (new) ADO.NET 2.0 factory classes to generate a list of providers
in ADO.NET, but I have never seen anything but (widely) scattered documents
that tell what parameters the connection strings take.

Thanks for your reply.
I cannot see what I am looking for here.
All I am after is some sample .NET code (C# or VB.NET) illustrating how to
retrieve a list of ODBC database drivers available on the local machine.
This is the list that you can see in the ODBC Data Source Administrator
(odbcad32) dialog.
I am then after some sample code to ascertain what parameters each driver
requires in order to create a valid connection.
Any ideas?

If I understood you well, than use most people this very famous webpage.
