Using VB.NET how can I find all available SQL Server on a local network and
list all the databases in each server.
Thanks

You can do this using SQL-DMO. Add a reference to sqldmo.dll and sqldmo.rll
to use SQL-DMO. The Application object of SQL-DMO has a ListAvailableSe rvers
method which will give you all SQL Servers on the network (if you are running
Windows 2000 and up).
You can also connect to an SQL Server instance and enumerate all objects for
that server (using the SqlServer object).

Of course, the code will be a bit different in VB.net.

Doesn't it show instances installed on local machine?

It seems that this may be a pre-SP2 problem. Did you install all SQL Server
service packs?

Installing SP3a fixed it. Thanks
Have another question
I have installed sql server on stand alone machine, running XP. The code
doesn't generate error but doesn't even shows the instance of sql server
installed on it, what could be the problem? Does the method
ListAvailableSQ LServers() only scans the network for instances of sql server
and not the local machine?

It seems that the NameList returned by ListAvailableSe rvers is 1-based,
although it does not fail if you use indices smaller than 1 (it just returns
an empty string). So if you use code similar to the following, you will get
a server name '(local)' for the local (default) SQL Server instance:
SQLDMO.Applicat ion app = new SQLDMO.Applicat ionClass();
SQLDMO.NameList names = app.ListAvailab leSQLServers();
for (int i = 1; i <= names.Count; ++i)
Console.WriteLi ne(names.Item(i ));
