Returns string representing unencrypted connection information for the connection dialog box.

Remarks

Normally, a client sets this property to specify an initial configuration for the dialog box and then retrieve it after the dialog box has closed to pick up the information entered by the user.

The display connection string is provided for purposes of display in the user interface (UI). No sensitive information, such as a password, is included in this string. A client may set the value of this property as a more complete connection string; however, this information will be stripped out and will not be returned by this property.
