Remarks
Not all items have associated SQL-DMO objects. If you want strong type checking for the SQL-DMO objects in Microsoft® Visual Basic®, reference the Microsoft SQL-DMO Object Library. To validate that the object type returned is correct, use the TypeOf method that every SQL-DMO object exposes. TypeOf returns a member of the SQLDMO_OBJECT_TYPE enumeration. If no object is associated with the SQLNamespace object, an empty object is returned (Object Is Nothing). In C++, use the IID_IV* (OLE Automation (VB/VBA) Dual Interfaces) instead of the IID_IW* - C++ Unicode interfaces, because the GetSQLDMOObject method returns an IDispatch pointer. Only the SQL-DMO SQLServer and Database objects are returned.
