Goal

Sometimes it would be useful to determine the version of the loaded OLEDB Provider. Unfortunatly there is no property or anything else available to do this directly. Only information about release is the Server version ones connected .

This document provides sample source code in C# how to accomplish this during runtime by extracting the Provider name from connection string and afterwards search the registry to find the DLL path of the provider and determine the release from that path information
