Simple way to programmatically get all stored procedures

Question

Is there a way to get stored procedures from a SQL Server 2005 Express database using C#? I would like to export all of this data in the same manner that you can script it o

Answer 1

begin
--select column_name from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME='Products' 
--Declare the Table variable 
DECLARE @GeneratedStoredProcedures TABLE
(
        Number INT IDENTITY(1,1), --Auto incrementing Identity column
        name VARCHAR(300) --The string value
)

--Decalre a variable to remember the position of the current delimiter
DECLARE @CurrentDelimiterPositionVar INT 
declare @sqlCode varchar(max)
--Decalre a variable to remember the number of rows in the table
DECLARE @Count INT

--Populate the TABLE variable using some logic
INSERT INTO @GeneratedStoredProcedures SELECT name FROM sys.procedures where name like 'procGen_%'

--Initialize the looper variable
SET @CurrentDelimiterPositionVar = 1

--Determine the number of rows in the Table
SELECT @Count=max(Number) from @GeneratedStoredProcedures

--A variable to hold the currently selected value from the table
DECLARE @CurrentValue varchar(300);

--Loop through until all row processing is done
WHILE @CurrentDelimiterPositionVar <= @Count
BEGIN
    --Load current value from the Table
    SELECT @CurrentValue = name FROM @GeneratedStoredProcedures WHERE Number = @CurrentDelimiterPositionVar 
    --Process the current value
    --print @CurrentValue
    set @sqlCode = 'drop procedure ' + @CurrentValue
    print @sqlCode
    --exec (@sqlCode)


    --Increment loop counter
    SET @CurrentDelimiterPositionVar = @CurrentDelimiterPositionVar + 1;
END
