Question : How to connect Crystal Report to SQL database in .NET C#

I have a VB6 application which connects a Crystal Report to an SQL2008 database using the code fragment at the end of this message. I am trying to connect to the same SQL2008 DB under .NET C#, however the properties and methods have changed. How would I pass the connection/login info to the Crystal Reports object under .NET?

Thanks

VB6
For Each dbTable In Report.Database.Tables
SetTableDBInfo dbTable
Next dbTablePrivate

Private Sub SetTableDBInfo(ByVal dbTable As CRAXDRT.DatabaseTable)

dbTable.DllName = "crdb_odbc.dll"
dbTable.ConnectionProperties.DeleteAll
dbTable.ConnectionProperties.Add "Connection String", "Driver={SQL Server};Server=RICH-PC;Database=SW2011SQL;Trusted_Connection=Yes;"

End Sub
