The ServerInstanceCollection type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Count	Gets the number of ServerInstance objects in the referenced collection.
	IsSynchronized	Gets the Boolean property value that specifies whether access to the collection is synchronized (thread safe). (Inherited from WmiCollectionBase.)
	Item[Int32]	Gets a ServerInstance object in the collection by index number.
	Item[String]	Gets a ServerInstance object in the collection by name.
	Parent	Gets the ManagedComputer object that is the parent of the ServerInstanceCollection object.
	SyncRoot	Gets an object that can be used to synchronize access to the collection. (Inherited from WmiCollectionBase.)

	Contains	Checks whether the specified key value exists in the collection.
	CopyTo	Copies the collection objects to a one-dimensional array beginning at the index value specified.
	Equals	(Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetEnumerator	Returns an IEnumerator interface that allows you to iterate through the objects in the collection.
	GetHashCode	(Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	(Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone	(Inherited from Object.)
	Remove	Removes the specified object from the referenced collection. (Inherited from WmiCollectionBase.)

Fields

	Name	Description
	initialized	Defines a boolean method that initializes the collection of objects in the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) object preference. Do not reference this member directly in your code. It supports the SQL Server infrastructure. (Inherited from WmiCollectionBase.)
	innerColl	Identified for informational purposes only. Not supported. Future compatibility is not guaranteed. (Inherited from WmiCollectionBase.)

Remarks

A ServerInstanceCollection object can be used to gain access to a set of instances of SQL Server. You can use the Item property to return a specific ServerInstance object.
