I have some Crystal Reports connecting to a Sql Server db that I would like to detect whether the connection is trusted or whether I need to supply the log on info (reports are not supplied by me so I can't control the connect method). If I just blindly supply login credentials, it won't connect if it is a trusted connection.

The following does not work:

oRpt = oCR.OpenReport("C:\MyReport.rpt")

if oRpt.Database.Tables(1).ConnectionProperties.Item("Integrated Security") = True then 
       'trusted connection
    else
       'supply login credentials
    end if

It gives the following error: Operator '=' is not defined for type 'IConnectionProperty' and type 'Boolean'.

I cannot find how create a construct in vb.net for IConnectionProperty. I can't find any documents from Crystal that explain it. I am using Crystal Reports XI - Developer
