dynamic database connection

2
For one of my projects, i need to develop a product in .net which will be connecting to a company's database to run specific queries. The database is unknown at development time.

1. Which component is able to let the user dynamically select a database connection and return a connection string such that i can save it? Or is there a better way to do this in .net code easily?

2. Given that connection string, and a usergiven query for that database, for how can i run that query? Is there a generic datareader, executescalar, etc

any help much appreciated!!!!!

One way may be to have each database connection and query in a class and call the class based the user selection?

Fetch all the databases from the server using SP_DATABASES

Populate that into a dropdown and let user to select the db.

Connect to that DBName, Username and Password which u get from that user.

Thats it :)
