[fdo-users] ArcSDE connection string help

I am connecting to ArcSDE 9.3 through the display manager without any 
problem. In the connection form I  have 4 fields:

Server name
Instance name
Data store
version

I am trying to build a connection strong in .NET to set the 
ConnectionString property of an object of type 
OSGeo.FDO.Connections.IConnection. Currently I am using a strong which 
works with MySQL and Oracle as follows:

"service=Server name; username=MyUser; password=MyPass; datastore=Data 
store"

I do not have the Instance Name or the version in this connection 
string. Do I need them? What is the correct sytntax for an ArcSDE 
connection strong in .NET?

Thanks in advance!
