If you need further help some more context and knowing the exact goal could help. You try to create an app for this db or you want to manage remotely a db ?
I wish to show list of all tables created by the user in particular database as a tree view.
Don't want to show system table. Instead of touching database i wish to retrieve all tables from database and update by myself.
Do you mean you want to show all the table except system table?
If this is your requirement, I suggest you could try to use below query:
select name from sysobjects where type='U'

You can use views or system tables to list the database content but AFAIK SQL Server doesn't care about who created a table. They are organized in schémas and it cares about permissions only.

Hi,
"display entire database" is quite vague. Most of those tables are used by ASP.NET Identity.
Assuming you need a list of all table names you could use for example the standardized Information_Schema.Tables view or SQL Server system tables. Try https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/system-information-schema-views/system-information-schema-views-transact-sql

Try perhaps https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175941(v=sql.105).aspx if your goal is really to track db schema changes...

Hi Brando ZWZ,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried your query. It displayed all tables in the database.
But my need is to display only tables of "particular database" as a tree view and not all tables in the database.
I haven't used tree view control before.. something like tree view format i need to display..
Help me to carry out.
Regards,
Poornima

I think you have to use SMO. For jump start follow this. Hope you can adapt to ASP.NET.
Further reading, try this as well.
