Is there any code snippet which creates a connection dialog field like in SSMSE? Where it scans your network for sql server and databases using your credentials and showing this in list boxes.

See German screenshot for details.

Although this article[^] isn't exactly what you want it may get you started in the right direction since it has a dialog that I think (if I've understood you correctly) will give you pretty much what you want.

On clicking the Search button, it get's all SQL Servers on the net.

Unfortunately I'm not getting a connection with my credentials with this tool.
It would be good to have also a list box containing all accessible databases with the entered credentials.

My box should look something like that to prevent wrong connection settings:
SQL Server: [Listbox]
Username: [Textbox]
Password: [Textbox]
Database: [Listbox]
Connect [Button] Cancel [Button]

I understand that but the point is for you to take the code and adapt it to your needs: It's unlikely that anyone will have precisely what you want and part of being a developer is to learn from and adapt code: you won't get anything handed to you on a plate!
