The Item method extracts a member from a SQL-DMO container object such as the Databases collection or the NameList object.

A reference to the object extracted.
In general, SQL-DMO supports container member dereferencing using either a string naming an item or an ordinal position for an item. Some SQL-DMO containers support additional restriction to identify items where component name does not offer unique identification. Other containers do not support component name as an argument for the Item method at all.
For more information about support for Item, see documentation for a specific container object.
