Hello,
I am creating a program that documents the tables and fields in a database. I want the user to be able to select the name of the server from a combobox. The combobox should be filled with all available SQL servers. I found some code from a sample on this site and it doesn't work. The error message and code are below. Does anyone know what is wrong?
Error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidCastException' occurred in MSDEManager.exe
Additional information: QueryInterface for interface SQLDMO.NameList failed.
Code:
Private Sub GetSqlServers()
Dim sqlApp As SQLDMO.Application = New SQLDMO.ApplicationClass()
Dim listServers As SQLDMO.NameList = sqlApp.ListAvailableSQLServers()
Dim server As Object
Dim root, node As TreeNode
root = Me.treeServers.Nodes(0)
For Each server In listServers
node = New TreeNode(server.ToString(), ICON_ServerDisconnected, ICON_ServerDisconnected)
node.Tag = "Server"
root.Nodes.Add(node)
Next server
If root.GetNodeCount(False) = 0 Then
node = New TreeNode("
", ICON_ServerDisconnected, ICON_ServerDisconnected)
node.Tag = "Nothing"
root.Nodes.Add(node)
End If
root.Expand()
SetStatus("Connected", "Ok", "Ready")
End Sub
Thanks
Jim
