You can run this query to find the list of active sessions for each database and then get the one that you want accordingly.

select 
    db_name(dbid) as [Database Name], 
    count(dbid) as [No Of Connections],
    loginame as [Login Name]
from
    sys.sysprocesses
where 
    dbid > 0
group by 
    dbid, loginame

Its taken from the following link. Find active sessions

Some time ago I wrote a post how to collect ADO.NET traces. As far as I know these traces are the most detailed logs of ADO.NET activity in your application - just tune them to your needs. The post is available here: https://lowleveldesign.wordpress.com/2012/09/07/diagnosing-ado-net-with-etw-traces/ . If you have any problems just let me know.
