using vb.net to access sql server using a dsn

[jennyflower]

Hi, Is there a way to use a dsn to access sql server using vb.net? I think I know how to do it with a driver and the other bits of information but I want to just use the dsn without having to reference the driver name.

Thanks

You just need to set the connectionstring.

But I see no reason why you should use a DSN it seems bad practice in this case.
