Solution 1

Perhaps on the SelectedIndexChange event for the ComboBox then you can check to see which value was select and if it is oracle then you can prompt for username/password (however you want to do that)

Read that response again. He said YOU could put up a dialog asking for the username and password, then put that information into the connection string.
