In SQL Server 2008 you can find if a database is online of offline by querying databases system view. A simple query such as this one gives me a list of all databases on my server and the second column shows if the database is online or offline.

SELECT Name, state_desc
FROM sys.databases

On my server I have a database called LinqToSqlLab which is currently offline.
