Dim db As Database
db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks2012")

'Display all the user defined types in the database.
Dim udt As UserDefinedType
For Each udt In db.UserDefinedTypes
   Console.WriteLine(udt.Name)
Next

PowerShell

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