I'm trying to dynamically get a databases Table structure using only C# code as follows:
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;
public class LoadStuff
{
...
public void LoadDatabase(string vDatabaseName)
{
using (var vSqlConnection = new SqlConnection(DatabaseConnectionString))
{
var vConnection = new ServerConnection(vSqlConnection);
var vServer = new Server(vConnection);
var vDatabase = vServer.Databases[vDatabaseName];
var vTables = vDatabase.Tables;
}
}
}
However, I cannot find the .dll file to add a reference too. I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Professional. Any suggestions?
It is located in c:\program files\microsoft sql server\xxx\sdk\assemblies on my machine. Where xxx is the SQL Server version number (90 or 100). Not sure how it got there.
