    Sql Server connection dialog control?

    I'm writing an application in C# with Visual Studio 2003.

    I want to put a sql server connection dialog on a form used to configure an
    application. This is for setting up the connection and saving the
    user,password, server, and database with a "test connection" button. This is
    for a configuration form as opposed to having the connection dialog
    automatically pop-up every time the user starts the application and tries to
    connect to a datasource.

    Obviously, I can just have the user enter the user id, password, server, and
    database but I'm looking to include the drop down lists of available servers
    and databases like what is usually seen when creating database connections
    without having to write the whole thing myself. I want a control to do this
    ahead of actually running the application; it's just for saving the
    connection settings. I am NOT looking to have the standard dialog show up
    when the actual connection to the database is needed. I want to embed the
    input fields into a form and not have a dialog pop up.

    Is there already a library with this functionality? Something with a
    "GetServerL ist" and "GetDatabaseLis t" type of methods if not an entire
    control with all of the input fields?

    Thanks!
