Hi, everybody!

I know that´s far easy to create an old ADO Connection and test the object existence just like below:

loConn = CreateObject("adodb.connection")
If VarType(loConn) = "O" or not IsNull(loConn)
   ? "exists"
Else
   ? "not exists"
EndIf

Is there some way to do such thing with ADO.NET ?
I have already searched at www.microsoft.com, but I can´t find anything.

TIA
