I need a control that does exactly the same thing the
server explorer on visual studio i.e. select a database
from and returns a connection string.

Does anyone now a commercial component that could help me?,
I don't have the time to develop all that.

can the server control on VS be used?

Saludos

Is this something you need at a client site or internally? If internally,
SQL Server Developer Edition can do it for about $50.00? If all you need is
viewing capabilities, I have an alpha add-in that does what Server Explorer
does (Viewing/Creating/Manipulating Sql Server and Oracle Objects) for two
databases. I'll be glad to send it to you. It doesn't allow you to add
log-ons, do backup and restore etc, at least not yet b/c it's an internal
thing, but I'd be glad to send it to you.)

Let me know.

Could I have a copy as well please? (e-mail address removed)

I'm putting a forum together for third party items (free and for sale
stuff), perhaps I could add this?
 
Server Explorer uses "Data Link" dialog box. You could use the Data Link
to generate Connection strings without using Server Explorer. To do that:

- Go to the desktop of your computer and mouse-right click and select "New
Text Document".
- Rename the file to sometjhing like test.udl (you have to use UDL as file
extension).
- Now double click on it and it should launch the Data Link dialog box.
- Select the provider and server and test connection.
- Open the file test.udl using Notepad and you should see the connection
string.

I hope this helps!
