Property Value

Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.UserDefinedDataTypeCollection
A UserDefinedDataTypeCollection object that represents all the user-defined data types on the database.

Remarks

Specific user-defined data types can be referenced by using this collection by specifying the name of the user-defined data type. To add a new user-defined data type to the collection, call the user-defined data type constructor UserDefinedDataType.

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 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("AdventureWorks2012")

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