Methods

	Name	Description
	DiscoverDependencies(array<SqlSmoObject[], DependencyType)	Creates a hierarchical object tree that represents the parent or child dependent relationships for a specified object array of SQL Server objects on the instance of SQL Server. (Inherited from DependencyWalker.)
	DiscoverDependencies(array<SqlSmoObject[], Boolean)	Creates a hierarchical object tree that represents the parent or child dependent relationships for a specified object array of SQL Server objects on the instance of SQL Server. (Inherited from DependencyWalker.)
	DiscoverDependencies(array<Urn[], DependencyType)	Creates a hierarchical object tree that represents the parent- or child-dependent relationships for a specified Urn array of SQL Server objects on the instance of SQL Server. (Inherited from DependencyWalker.)
	DiscoverDependencies(array<Urn[], Boolean)	Creates a hierarchical object tree that represents the parent- or child-dependent relationships for a specified Urn array of SQL Server objects on the instance of SQL Server. (Inherited from DependencyWalker.)
	DiscoverDependencies(UrnCollection, DependencyType)	Creates a hierarchical object tree that represents the parent or child dependent relationships for a specified Urn collection of SQL Server objects on the instance of SQL Server. (Inherited from DependencyWalker.)
	DiscoverDependencies(UrnCollection, Boolean)	Creates a hierarchical object tree that represents the parent or child dependent relationships for a specified Urn collection of SQL Server objects on the instance of SQL Server. (Inherited from DependencyWalker.)

Events

	Name	Description
	DiscoveryProgress	Raises an event at intervals and reports progress on the DiscoveryProgress method. (Inherited from DependencyWalker.)
	ScriptingError	Raises an event when an error occurs during a scripting operation.
	ScriptingProgress	Raises an event to receive information about the progress of the scripting operation.

Remarks

The Scripter object allows programmatic access to scripting settings and is responsible for the following scripting functionality:

• Finding dependencies.

• Output script to memory and file.

• Calling the instance objects to be scripted.

• Managing context of a script operation, such as checking whether an object has already been scripted.

To get Scripter object properties, users can be a member of the public fixed server role.

To set Scripter object properties, users can be a member of the public fixed server role.

To run a script operation, users require permissions for the objects that are being scripted.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Microsoft Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
