While you can use SQL DMO, it's really easier to simply use ADO or ADO.NET.
When you "open" a database connection against SQL Server and point to the
MDF file, ADO does an attach for you (unless the database is already
attached). This code is from a yet-to-be-published article on SQL Server
Express where I attach a new database to the local SQLEXPRESS named
instance.
Try
cn = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.\SQLExpress;" _
& "Integrated Security=True;Database=Biblio;" _
& "Timeout=60;" _
& "Application Name=SQLExpress Test;" _
& "AttachDBFilename=" & strFn)
da = New SqlDataAdapter("SELECT AU_ID, Author, Year_Born from
authors", cn)
ds = New DataSet
da.Fill(ds)
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.ToString)
End Try
