To access .UDL file from the sqlclient connection

Question

Hi,

I have a .udl file with the following connection string in it

[oledb] ; Everything after this line is an OLE DB initstring Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=Client_DB050208;Data Source=IAEADB\IAEADBDEV;;Network Library=dbmssocn

Now i am trying to access this .udl file from the statement like

sConnectStr = "D:\PROBIS\ABC.udl" from one of my .vb class NOTE : I need to use SqlClient.SqlConnection.

So can i access this .udl from SqlClient.sqlConnection.

Please get back to this question

Thanks in Advance

It seems that you could get this in a OLDEBConnection not SQL Connection. See here

Sort of makes sense. Otherwise just parse the file.
