title: Connect to SQL Server with ODBC alias
body: <p>I have an MSDE installed and I have a DB for it. And on a client computer an ODBC alias (x). I want to connect to this using a .NET4 program written in C#. What connection string should I use if I have only a login name (y) and a password (z)?</p>
  
  <p>Or am I to extract server and database name from the registry?</p>
