ADO.NET connection string

I am trying to connect to an INTRBASE database through the MS OleDb.NET
provider, however I am unsure of what to use for the connection string. How
can I find this out???

When I need to find the connection string, I use
MSDASC.DataLinks.PromptNew() to get the ADODB.Connection and then
inspect the ConnectionString
