Hi,

I'm a C# programmer. Can any one tell me how to retrieve the database vendor name(like msaccess,mssql) from the connectionstring itself. I donot wont any hardcorded values.

According to my requirements I'm using OleDbConnection class for building the connection.

Advance Thanks

what you've said doesn't make sense. What do you want it for?
