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

This is a SQL that I have just tested and used in MSSQL

SELECT NAME from SYS.PROCEDURES 
order by name

In case that you need to look for a specific name or substring/text

SELECT NAME from SYS.PROCEDURES 
where name like '%%'
order by name

Replace with exactly that for example:

SELECT NAME from SYS.PROCEDURES 
where name like '%CUSTOMER%'
order by name

And calling

EXEC sp_HelpText SPNAME 

for each stored procedure, you'll get a record set with one line of text per row
