    How to: Get an LobSystem and an Entity 

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms501019.aspx



    It's not the same dialog picker box, but it gives an example of how to look up instances and entities.

    I ended up putting that data into a drop down box like below:

    //load all BDC entities  
                NamedLobSystemInstanceDictionary sysInstances = ApplicationRegistry.GetLobSystemInstances();  
                foreach (string insName in sysInstances.Keys)  
                {  
                    foreach (string entName in sysInstances[insName].GetEntities().Keys)  
                    {  
                        ddlList.Items.Add("BDC: "+insName + ": " + entName);  
                    }  
                }
