I saw this question in one of forums on backing up i.e. scripting out a database object. The problem is easy to solve, but only if you’re familiar with SMO :). Even so, there some more obscure aspects of SMO like URNs which not many people are aware of. If you read the MSDN docs on SMO you’ll find URNs are referenced in a few places. I haven’t used them much, but for this case  it makes sense. Normally if you want to get to an object in SMO you’d reference the server, then the database then the object type collection (StoredProcedures, Views, etc.), and then the object;  however if you don’t know the object type you can call EnumObject method on the database to get a list of objects with its URN. The URN is like a primary key of objects in SMO. So, here’s my solution with with comments…

add-type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"
add-type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"
add-type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.SqlServer.SMOExtended, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"
add-type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91"

.SYNOPSIS
Backs up a database object definition.
.DESCRIPTION
The Backup-DatabaseObject function  backs up a database object definition by scripting out the object to a .sql text file.
.EXAMPLE
Backup-DatabaseObject -ServerInstance Z002 -Database AdventureWorks -Schema HumanResources -Name vEmployee -Path "C:UsersPublic"
This command backups up the vEmployee view to a .sql file.

    #The URN format is similar to XPath
    $urns = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.UrnCollection
    #Get a list of database object which match the schema and object name specified
    #New up an URN object and add the URN to the urns collection
    $db.enumobjects() | where {$_.schema -eq $Schema -and  $_.name -eq $Name } |
        foreach {$urn = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.Urn($_.Urn);
                 $urns.Add($urn) }
    if ($urns.Count -gt 0) {
        #Create a scripter object with a connection to the server object created above
        $scripter = new-object Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Scripter($server)
        #Set some scripting option properties
        $scripter.options.ScriptBatchTerminator = $true
        $scripter.options.FileName = "$PathBEFORE_$Schema.$Name.sql"
        $scripter.options.ToFileOnly = $true
        $scripter.options.Permissions = $true
        $scripter.options.DriAll = $true
        $scripter.options.Triggers = $true

        $scripter.Options.IncludeHeaders = $true
        #Script the collection of URNs
        $scripter.Script($urns)
    }
    else {
        write-warning "Object $Schema.$Name Not Found!"
    }
} #Backup-DatabaseObject

And here’s example of sourcing and calling the function:

. ./Backup-DatabaseObject.ps1
Backup-DatabaseObject -ServerInstance Z002 -Database AdventureWorks -Schema HumanResources -Name vEmployee -Path "C:UsersPublic"

I’ve posted the code on PoshCode also.
