Maybe you could improve your question with some information that "anyone" could use to help you. What database? What have you tried?

Assuming you are using SQL you could start out with something like SELECT * FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases Is that the information you are looking for?

Assuming SQL Server, you can use the management objects to enumerate the databases of a specified server instance. (See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.server.databases.aspx[^])

C#

...
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;
...

Server sr = new Server("MACHINE_NAME\\INSTANCE_NAME");
try
{
    DbCombo.Items.Clear();
    foreach (Database db in sr.Databases)
    {
       DbCombo.Items.Add(db.Name);
    }
}
catch (Exception Ex)
{
    MessageBox.Show(Ex.ToString());
}
