[dba-VB] Get list of servers, databases and tables in a database

No, I mean programmatically.  Basically I am looking to populate a combo
with servers, then when I select a server, populate a combo with databases,
select a database, populate a combo with tables etc.

I am writing an application for the import / export / import of data.  Flat
files into SQL Server, data back out to "CSV" for address validation, data
back in from CSV.

ATM I am hard coding all the locations but eventually I must get this thing
more automated so I am just boning up on how to browse through database
objects.  I am looking at code right now for the SQLDMO object which looks
like it will serve the purpose.  It is not part of .NET but I can reference
it from my project.

I forgot to specify that I am using VB.Net for this.  So I need to know how
to do all this inside of VB.Net.

I need to allow a user (me) to navigate through my servers, databases and
tables in databases to select a specific table, for example to export to
CSV.  Does anyone know how to determine instances of database servers, then
get lists of databases in those servers, then get tables in a specific
database?
