Property Value

Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.UserDefinedFunctionCollection
A UserDefinedFunctionCollection object that represents all the user-defined functions on the database.

Remarks

Specific user-defined functions can be referenced by using this collection by specifying the name of the user-defined function. To add a new user-defined function to the collection, call the user-defined function constructor UserDefinedFunction.

Examples

VB

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

'Reference the AdventureWorks2012 database.
Dim db As Database
db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks2012")

'Display all the user defined functions in the database.
Dim udf As UserDefinedFunction
For Each udf In db.UserDefinedFunctions
   Console.WriteLine(udf.Name)
Next

PowerShell

$srv = new-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("(local)")
$db = New-Object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database
$db = $srv.Databases.Item("AdventureWorks2012")

Foreach ($udf in $db.UserDefinedFunctions)
{
   Write-Host $udf.Name
}
