NameList Object
В будущей версии Microsoft SQL Server эта возможность будет удалена. Избегайте использования этой возможности в новых разработках и запланируйте изменение существующих приложений, в которых она применяется.
The NameList object is a string container object returned by methods that enumerate Microsoft SQL Server components by name.
Замечания
SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) implements object enumerating methods that return the names of servers running SQL Server or SQL Server database objects, such as users or indexes. Commonly, the name of the SQL Server component is used by an application in logic that directs the selection of a component. That component can then be referenced by name in another method.
For example, the ListAvailableSQLServers method of the Application object returns a NameList object that enumerates SQL Server server names. An application can use the Item method of the NameList object to populate a control, such as a combo box, allowing users to select a SQL Server installation by name. The name selected can then be used in the Connect method of the SQLServer object.
