Property Value

Type: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.UserDefinedMessageCollection
A UserDefinedMessageCollection object that represents all the user-defined messages defined on the instance of SQL Server.

Remarks

The UserDefinedMessages property points to the UserDefinedMessageCollection object, which references the user-defined messages on the instance of SQL Server. You can use the collection to reference the user-defined messages. You can also add new user-defined messages by using the UserDefinedMessage constructor.

Examples

Visual Basic

'Connect to the local, default instance of SQL Server.
Dim srv As Server
srv = New Server
'Display the user-defined message.
Dim sr As UserDefinedMessage
For Each sr In srv.UserDefinedMessages
   Console.WriteLine(sr.Name)
Next

PowerShell

$srv = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server("(local)")
foreach ($sr in $srv.UserDefinedMessages)
{
   Write-Host $sr.Name
}
