The following console application retrieves information about all of the visible SQL Server instances and displays the information in the console window


using System.Data.Sql;

class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Retrieve the enumerator instance and then the data.
SqlDataSourceEnumerator instance =
SqlDataSourceEnumerator.Instance;
System.Data.DataTable table = instance.GetDataSources();

// Display the contents of the table.
DisplayData(table);

Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue.");
Console.ReadKey();
}

private static void DisplayData(System.Data.DataTable table)
{
foreach (System.Data.DataRow row in table.Rows)
{
foreach (System.Data.DataColumn col in table.Columns)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", col.ColumnName, row[col]);
