Hi!

I'd like to check somehow is the used connection, which uses MSDE
database, trusted connection or not. Is there any other possibilities to
check this - except searching used ConnectionString of the connection?

I need this because I'm trying to make it possible Backup Database
directly using my application into file, and my application uses
osql-command to do this.

I already succeeded to make osql-command to work after user has selected
file location where to save backup file using "Save As"-dialog, but it
work only with trusted connection. So if connection is not trusted
connection, then my application should ask User ID and Password needed
for osql-command to work - I think.
 
Well, checking the connection string is a quite easy and straightforward way
of doing this - why do you not want to do that?
 
In 2.0, there is the SqlConnectionStringBuilder class that will help parse
connection strings correctly so that you can correctly determine that
answer.
