Examples

VB

'Connect to the local, default instance of SQL Server.
Dim srv As Server
srv = New Server

'Reference the AdventureWorks2008R2 database.
Dim db As Database
db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks2008R2")

'Display all the user defined types in the database.
Dim uddt As UserDefinedDataType
For Each uddt In db.UserDefinedDataTypes
   Console.WriteLine(uddt.Name)
Next

PowerShell

$srv = new-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("(local)")
$db = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database
$db = $srv.Databases.Item("AdventureWorks2008R2")

Foreach ($uddt in $db.UserDefinedDataTypes)
{
   Write-Host $uddt.Name
}
