class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Application app = new Application();
DBProviderInfos dbis = app.DBProviderInfos;
foreach (DBProviderInfo dbi in dbis)
{
Console.WriteLine("Description = {0}, Name = {1}, ParseName = {2}", dbi.Description, dbi.Name, dbi.ParseName);
Console.WriteLine("ProviderSubType ={0}, ProviderType = {1}", dbi.ProviderSubType, dbi.ProviderType);
Console.WriteLine("SupportsNullColumns = {0}, UseFullTableName = {1}", dbi.SupportsNullColumns, dbi.UseFullTableName);
}
}
}
}
Namespace dbproviderinfo
Class Program
Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
Dim app As Application = New Application()
Dim dbis As DBProviderInfos = app.DBProviderInfos
Dim dbi As DBProviderInfo
For Each dbi In dbis
Console.WriteLine("Description = {0}, Name = {1}, ParseName = {2}", dbi.Description, dbi.Name, dbi.ParseName)
Console.WriteLine("ProviderSubType ={0}, ProviderType = {1}", dbi.ProviderSubType, dbi.ProviderType)
Console.WriteLine("SupportsNullColumns = {0}, UseFullTableName = {1}", dbi.SupportsNullColumns, dbi.UseFullTableName)
Next
End Sub
End Class

Sample Output:
Description = MediaCatalogDB OLE DB Provider, Name = MediaCatalogDB OLE DB Provider, ParseName = {09E767A6-4481-4791-86A5-A739E5290E4C}
ProviderSubType =None, ProviderType = OleDb
SupportsNullColumns = True, UseFullTableName = True
Description = Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server, Name = SQLOLEDB, ParseName = {0C7FF16C-38E3-11d0-97AB-00C04FC2AD98}
