Hello Sharon
  
  here is the solution of ur prb ...
  
  This code is to find out available servers on the LAN
  
  <CODE>
  //u need to give reference of COM Object SQLDMO.. its ships with sql server 2000
    SQLDMO.ApplicationClass app = new SQLDMO.ApplicationClass();
  SQLDMO.NameList list;
  list=app.ListAvailableSQLServers();
  
  int i=0;
  
  while (i < list.Count)
  {
      MessageBox.Show(list.Item(i));
      i++;
  }

  </CODE>
  
  in order to execute this code u must should have updated sql server server pack
  
  
  after getting the server u can ask the user to provide credential (login id & password) or use trusted connection
  
  build the connection on the fly & use Master database as ur database in ur connection string
  
  after that u have to collect all the databases in the selected sql server...
  
  so u can use this query
  
  <QUERY>
  select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMATA
  </QUERY>
  
  if u run the above query againt MASTER database it should give u  the all the available database on the selected server which match credential u have provided ..
  
  
  in case of any difficulty u can contact me ..
  
  Hope this helps

          I am trying to create a UI like the one in VS.Net where you create a database connection. A drop down with the list of sql servers, a dropdown with list of databases in the selected server. My problem is how can I get these information. or is there a way where i can use the one in vs.net. I need this to ship with the application.
  
  All help is great help.
  
  Thanks
