This is the use of the Visual Studio connection dialog in your own projects, for instance tool kits to inspect databases. Steps are:
Imports Microsoft.Data.ConnectionUI
Private Sub GetDataConnection()
Dim dcd As New DataConnectionDialog
DataSource.AddStandardDataSources(dcd)
dcd.SelectedDataSource = DataSource.SqlDataSource
If DataConnectionDialog.Show(dcd) = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Select Case dcd.SelectedDataProvider.Name
Case DataProvider.SqlDataProvider.Name
Dim cn As New SqlClient.SqlConnection(dcd.ConnectionString)
DataSourceToolStripTextBox.Text = cn.DataSource
DatabaseDefaultToolStripTextBox.Text = cn.Database
'MessageBox.Show(String.Concat("Found SQL: ", cn.ConnectionString))
Case Else
MessageBox.Show(dcd.ConnectionString)
End Select
End If
End Sub

See also Azure Powershell and Azure VM with SQL
If you have a Pluralsight subscription then they have a good course “Windows Azure Infrastructure as a Service Essentials” then chapter “Storage and Disks” and screen cast “Creating Virtual Hard Disks”
