Updated text:17 July 2006
You can find the available collation strings in Selecting a SQL Collation, by running the EnumCollations method, or during SQL Server setup. The collation string contains information about the code page, case-sensitivity, accent sensitivity, and language or alphabet.
This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.
Example
'Connect to the local, default instance of SQL Server.
Dim srv As Server
srv = New Server
'Reference the AdventureWorks database.
Dim db As Database
db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks")
'Display the current default collation.
Console.WriteLine(db.Collation)
'Display the case-sensitivity of the current collation.
Console.WriteLine("Collation is case-sensitive = " + _
db.CaseSensitive.ToString)
