From my client machine how to check what all are the Softwares available in the Server machine and if so how to work with it....Just by sitting from the client machine....

For Egs:
I want to download records from the Database by sitting on the client machine...
For that first I need to check which server should i select suppose the "server o/s machine" has both SQL and ORACLE
After selection of the server which Database should i select...
and from the database which tables should i select.....
so that it can be used for multiple Databases...and so that it will reduce the coding part using c#, asp.net....

Thanking you

This is only possible — to some extent —if you create a special service which would serve up such information. For .NET on Windows, an adequate form of such would be a Windows Service application working as a network service.

I would say the question is too general and the idea looks too general to be reasonable. Even the incorrect usage of the work "Software" in plural form in not just a using mistake but reflect thinking which is — in my opinion — wrong. What would be "all software" and why it "all" should be used by network clients? Creating and using of software is some kind of free process; not all software is designed to be used at distance (most of software is not), so "all" is simply impossible. The idea looks very questionable from the safety standpoint and other points of view.

There is a simpler way, check my answer.
You can use WMI to query the installed software on the server machine.

You can use remote desktop to connect to your server and run what ever you want on it as you would your client machine.
