programmatically create system dsn in vb.net

[Chris Thunell]

Is there any way to programmatically create an odbc system dsn in vb.net?
I have a bunch of DSNs that need to be created for SQL, Access, and
Timberline and i thought that it would make my life easier if i had a little
program that would run to create these DSNs instead of manually installing
them on each pc. I'm lazy - what can i say!

The ODBC drivers are already installed, i just need to create specific DSNs.

Any thoughts?

Anyone know how to do this with vb.net? This is a good example (below) but
was written for vb6.

Uhhh... if you read it, I believe Paul Clement did the code conversion...
