I would probably ask the same and add info about the namespace System.Data.ODBC at MSDN2: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.odbc.aspx

I am not into this really, but if you were thinking about the ODBC API function SQLDataSources, I think there is relevance in the new SqlDataSourceEnumerator class in .Net 2.0. You should see several interesting namespaces in the list at left pane of webpage from the MSDN link of my previous post.
