I'm trying to provide a way for the end user to select an ODBC datasource from the available datasources on the machine.

I've searched the net, many books, and available documentation and am now at a loss.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I found one way to do this. Basically, I read the registry keys under the ODBC section. Not glamorous, but functional. You would think there would be a function call in .net.

I believe DbProvideFactory class allows you to get list of the data sources. Check next link in MSDN
