How to check name of Domino Server to which lotus notes is configured? using C#

Question

I am trying to login Domino server. For that i am taking Lotus Notes Password and Domino Server Name from user.

if (notesPassword == "" && serverName == "")

{

MessageBox.Show("Please enter the server name !! ");

return;

}

else

{

   if (connectToDomino(notesPassword, serverName))

   {

      MessageBox.Show("Connection Established Succesfully!!..");

    }

   else

   {
    MessageBox.Show("Connection Fail.Please Login Again To Begin");

   }

}//else

and in

public bool connectToDomino(string NotesPassword, string strDominoServerName)

{

       try

       {
           if (_lotesNotesSession == null)
           {

              NotesSession notesSession = new Domino.NotesSessionClass();

              notesSession.Initialize(NotesPassword);


             }
           return true;
       }
       catch(Exception ex)
       {
           return false;
       }

}

Here i am initializing notes password.So in this case it is just verifying Notes Password. So even if user enters invalid entry of server name above function will return true.

I tried :

string serverName = notesSession.ServerName;

But it is showing null value. :(

Are you targeting a specific database on the server?

I do not believe you can check that the server is valid just that the server/database combination is:

Domino.NotesSessionClass _lotesNotesSession = new Domino.NotesSessionClass();
//Initializing Lotus Notes Session
_lotesNotesSession.Initialize( "my_password" );
Domino.NotesDatabase _serverDatabase = _lotesNotesSession.GetDatabase( "some_server", "names.nsf", false );
if (_serverDatabase == null){
   System.Console.Writeline("Can not connect to server.");
}
