odbc connections in .net

I have an application in .NET that needs to retrieve the ODBC connections on the pc. VB6 had a way of doing this with SQLDataSources. System.Data.odbc doesn't handle this. Is there a way to do this in .NET?

It doesn't. I know how to make the connection to the database but just not dynamically getting what odbc connection the user has. The connection is not uniform. Each connection can be named differently. The connection is going from a pc to a mainframe db2.
