Property Value
Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.AsymmetricKeyCollection
An AsymmetricKeyCollection object that represents all the asymmetric keys defined on the database.
Remarks
Specific asymmetric keys can be referenced by using this collection by specifying the name of the asymmetric key. To add a new asymmetric key to the collection, call the asymmetric key constructor AsymmetricKey.
Examples
VB
'Connect to the local, default instance of SQL Server.
Dim srv As Server
srv = New Server
'Reference the AdventureWorks2012 database.
Dim db As Database
db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks2012")
'Display all the asymmetric keys on the database.
Dim ak As AsymmetricKey
For Each ak In db.AsymmetricKeys
Console.WriteLine(ak.Name)
Next
PowerShell
$srv = new-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("(local)")
$db = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database
$db = $srv.Databases.Item("AdventureWorks2012")
foreach ($ak in $db.AsymmetricKeys)
{
Write-Host $ak.Name
}
