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.

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.

Fields

initialized
