How to get app to explore for Odbc DSN?

I used to program VB 6 using RDO to access ODBC.

When opening an ODBC connection with RDO, it was possible to configure a
parameter to allow the ODBC Data Source Administrator to pop up, allowing
you to create/edit ODBC data sources on the fly, and then return the DSN of
the one you selected.

I see no way of triggering this behaviour or something like it in .NET -
(whether VB or C#)

Does anyone know how to do this - or emulate it?

Thanks!

Carlo,

In C# and Net are rarely ODBC used. If you want a slightly better change on
an answer for this I would ask it in your case in the newsgroup.
