Generic Database Connector

[Derek Hart]

I am looking for a .Net control that will allow a user to create a
connection to a database at runtime. This could be a standard ODBC
connection. Ideally it could be as powerful as DTS. Then I will create
additional properties the user can enter, such as sql select statements, or
maybe include a sql builder. Any 3rd party components out there or other way
to do this?

You should look into creating a ProviderFactory.

Also, please don't cross-post like this as this question is not relevant to
a number of the NG's you've posted to.
