It was introduced in ADO.NET 2.0. I think it'd definitely be a nice-to-have. Documented here (about half-way down): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms254500.aspx You can see how it's implemented by SqlClient using reflector on the System.Data.Common.DbConnectionOptions class's ExpandDataDirectory method. I believe the main point is that it uses the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetData("DataDirectory") method call to set it up correctly based on the kind of application (that is, ASP.NET sets that value to be the App_Data folder automatically).
