Try:

C#

using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=GRIFFPC\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=True"))
    {
    con.Open();
    using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("sp_databases", con))
        {
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
        SqlDataReader read = cmd.ExecuteReader();
        while (read.Read())
            {
            Console.WriteLine((string)read["DATABASE_NAME"]);
            }
        }
    }

That will list the databases on a single server.
