How to show the window “Add connection” from the extension for Visual Studio?

Question

I am developing extensions ( VSPackage ) for Visual Studio .

I need to show the window "Add Connection".

How can I do that?

I looked for it at MSDN , but nowhere found examples of work with such windows. Also the variant of displaying the window "Data Source Selection" can suit me. I do not need the window "Server Explorer".

There are several IVsDataXXX interfaces, that can vary among VS versions. See these articles that I wrote long time ago:
