For which type of database?

For Oracle you could parse the tnsnames.ora file to get a list of
possible servers. I have seen unmanaged ways to get a list of Sql
Server instances, but they seem to be buggy when used in .Net (or at
least when I tried them). Do a google search for "list of sql servers
vb.net" or something similar and you should find quite a few links.

Thanks,
