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

Oh, sorry.  I misunderstood.  We don't allow our users that kind of
freedom in SQL Server, we just use SQLOleDb as the provider for our SQL
Server connections, and the user has to know the name of the database
involved.

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?
