string connectionString = "Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=(local);Trusted_Connection=Yes;Database=AdventureWorks;";
using (OdbcConnection connection = new OdbcConnection(connectionString))
{
connection.Open();
Console.WriteLine("ServerVersion: " + connection.ServerVersion
+ "\nDatabase: " + connection.Database);

// the end of the Using block.
}
