SQL Application Name - VB.NET

[stroyer74]

Most of the applications that I have written in VB.NET use SQL as their backend database. When I am using the SQL Server Enterprise Manager and look at the current activity, process info screen, it will show the user, system, database, and application that is connected to the SQL server. My applications always show up with a ".Net SqlClient Data Provider" name. Does anyone know what I need to add to my code to customize that application name?

Thanks
Sheldon

I haven't tried it, but in your connection string, try adding either "App=<any name>" or "Application Name=<any name" to override.
