Have a native call to get a list of available SQL Servers.
At the moment, to get a list of available SQL Servers, you need to add the COM library sqldmo.dll
in your installation package. For more information, see our Knowledge Base article 'I got an error when I was just trying to select a server'.
We don't think this is a very good solution and Microsoft should solve it by adding
a native .NET library call which allows you to get a list of servers in your .NET
applications.

Figure: The # of .dlls is getting out of hand - please make a Tree view where all System.* assemblies go under a single root-node
