HRESULT IsObjectDeleted)(
SQLDMO_OBJECT_TYPE ObjectType,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR ObjName,
LPBOOL pRetVal,
SQLDMO_LPCSTR ObjOwner);
Specify the value of the ObjectType argument using these SQLDMO_OBJECT_TYPE values.

If a client session creates an object using SQL-DMO, and another client session subsequently deletes the object using another tool (for example, SQL Query Analyzer), the SQL-DMO application is unaware of the deletion. A SQL-DMO application can use the IsObjectDeleted method to determine if the object still exists by specifying the object type and object name. If the objectOwner parameter is not used, the application assumes that the object owner is the user currently logged in.
Note IsObjectDeleted can be used with Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 and SQL Server 7.0.
