I am looking for a code sample that allows a user to browse for SQL Servers
on the the local area network, similar to the ODBC Data Sources and drivers
dialog where you have a dropdown box that is populated with all the
available servers.

I am not sure if this has to be coded from scratch or whether it is possible
to piggyback off some available system functions. I need to extract the the
database as well.

Does anybody know of any articles on this topic or can someone point to a
code sample?

Been a while, but I did this before by calling the NetServerEnum() Windows
API function. Here's an app that does enumerates SQL Servers:
