sql server connect: Hi,

I want to find out number of SQL Server database engine running in my
network ?

I want to write code in VB but can you just give me idea?

Regards,
Sachin

Check out the DBProvider Factory classes. They can enumerate any (visible)
servers for any specified provider. There is an example of this in my book.
