Client Application and SQL Mirroring

I have an application where the SQL Database is configured within (I give it
the server name, database name and SQL access info). I did not write the app
and was wondering if it could be used with SQL mirroring high availability
without having to reconfigure the client app.
I skimmed over the link 'SQL Server 2005 Books Online Overview of Database
Mirroring' http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189852.aspx and still
am not clear about how the client application sees the mirrored database on a
failure when using the top level mirroring feature - High Availability.
Thanks

/*
If you connect with ADO.NET or the SQL Native Client to a database that is
being mirrored, your application can take advantage of the drivers ability
to automatically redirect connections when a database mirroring failover
occurs. You must specify the initial principal server and database in the
connection string and the failover partner server.
Data Source=myServerAddress;Failover Partner=myMirrorServer;Initial
Catalog=myDataBase;Integrated Security=True;
