What is DSN file?
The .DSN file extension is associated with the Microsoft Windows Operating System. It is used for various database connection profiles, such as those used with the Payroll Manager Plus application. This type of file stores parameters that customize the connection between a computer and a remote database server. This includes information about the remote server location, user credentials, and other necessary settings. [ ⏩ ] DSN file extension
What is BRD file?
The .BRD file extension, also known as the EAGLE Circuit Board file, is a board layout design file used by EAGLE—a schematic editor and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) routing tool. The BRD file is divided into two sections; the Schematic Editor section which holds the circuit components’ information, the layer connectivity and the pin routing, and the Board Layout Editor section which holds all of the graphic shapes and other design elements.

How to convert the file from DSN to BRD?
To successfully convert the DSN file to BRD, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DSN). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case BRD (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than BRD).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DSN to BRD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting DSN files to BRD files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension BRD, while before this step we had the DSN file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new BRD file, or not.
