Hi,

Try this one,

C#

Dim dsnNames As New List(Of String)
Dim reg As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey =      Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software")
If reg IsNot Nothing Then
    reg = reg.OpenSubKey("ODBC")
    If reg IsNot Nothing Then
        reg = reg.OpenSubKey("ODBC.INI")
        If reg IsNot Nothing Then
            reg = reg.OpenSubKey("ODBC Data Sources")
            If reg IsNot Nothing Then
                For Each dsn As String In reg.GetValueNames
                    dsnNames.Add(dsn & "-" & reg.GetValue(dsn))
                Next
            End If
        End If

    End If
End If

For Each Name As String In dsnNames
    TextBox1.AppendText("DataSource Name: " & Name & Environment.NewLine)
Next Name

hope this may help you!!
