Remarks
Use the ContentDatabases property of the SPVirtualServer class to return the collection of content databases for the virtual server, and use an indexer to return a single content database from the collection. For example, if the collection is assigned to a variable named myContentDatabases, use myContentDatabases[index] in C#, or myContentDatabases(index) in Visual Basic .NET, where index is either the index number of the field in the collection or the GUID for the content database.
