I am doing a Windows Application with C#.net (2008) as FrontEnd and SQL Server 2005 as Backend.

My task is to Get SQL Server 2005-Server Name or Its Instance Name in Combobox without getting to SQL Server Management Studio.

I tried to get by Registry but it did not work as i had hardcoded it

OSQL -L also did not list any server names

How to Get this Server name, Any suggestions
