SMO - .NET Framework Assemblies

Microsoft SQL Server now features the integration of the common language runtime (CLR) component of the .NET Framework for Microsoft Windows. The CLR supplies managed code with services such as cross-language integration, code access security, object lifetime management, and debugging and profiling support. For SQL Server users and application developers, CLR integration means that you can now write stored procedures, triggers, user-defined types, user-defined functions (scalar and table-valued), and user-defined aggregate functions using any .NET Framework language, including Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and Microsoft Visual C#. Note that Visual Studio .NET 2003 cannot be used for CLR integration programming. SQL Server includes the .NET Framework version 2.0 SP1 pre-installed, and Visual Studio .NET 2003 cannot use the .NET Framework 2.0 assemblies.

The following example demonstrates how you can enumerate .NET Framework assemblies defined in "AdventureWorks" database. Assembly property of Database object represents collection of SqlAssemblies objects. Every assembly can contains more than one file. When you want to get a list of assembly files, you have to use SqlAssemblyFiles property of SqlAssembly objects.

ServerConnection conn = new ServerConnection(@"ANANAS\ANANAS2009", "kanasz", "chaaron");
try
{
    Server srv = new Server(conn);
    Database db = srv.Databases["AdventureWorks"];

    foreach (SqlAssembly assembly in db.Assemblies)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Assembly name: " + " " + assembly.Name);
        foreach (SqlAssemblyFile assemblyFile in assembly.SqlAssemblyFiles)
            Console.WriteLine("  " + assemblyFile.Name);
    }

}
catch (Exception err)
{
    Console.WriteLine(err.Message);
}
