Try this code in Restore database:

private void restoreButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
string database = con.Database.ToString();
if (con.State != ConnectionState.Open)
{
con.Open();
}
try
{
string sqlStmt2 = string.Format("ALTER DATABASE [" + database + "]
SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE");
SqlCommand bu2 = new SqlCommand(sqlStmt2, con);
bu2.ExecuteNonQuery();

string sqlStmt3 = "USE MASTER RESTORE DATABASE [" + database + "]

FROM DISK='" + textBox2.Text + "'WITH REPLACE;";
SqlCommand bu3 = new SqlCommand(sqlStmt3, con);
bu3.ExecuteNonQuery();

string sqlStmt4 = string.Format("ALTER DATABASE [" + database + "]

SET MULTI_USER");
SqlCommand bu4 = new SqlCommand(sqlStmt4, con);
bu4.ExecuteNonQuery();

MessageBox.Show("database restoration done successefully");

con.Close();

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
}

You will have to create DSN for connection.

Before coding, you must set the reference to the SMO assembly. You need to add these
components:

1. Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo
2. Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended
3. Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo
4. Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc

After Adding References, you need to add 2 using statements:

using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common;

Using the Code

The following code creates connection with SQL Server. To execute:

Hide Copy Code

"select * from sys.databases"

The above query retrieves all databases from SQL Server.

Hide Copy Code

public void Createconnection()

{
DBbackup.DataBaseClass dbc = new DataBaseClass();

cbservername.Properties.Items.Clear();
// select * from sys.databases getting all database name from sql
server
cmd = new OdbcCommand("select * from sys.databases",
dbc.openconn());
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (dr.Read())
{
cbdatabasename.Properties.Items.Add(dr[0]);
}
dr.Close();
}

The following code gets server names that exist. To execute:

Hide Copy Code

"select * from sys.servers"

The above query retrieves servers:

public void serverName()

{
DBbackup.DataBaseClass dbc = new DataBaseClass();
// select * from sys.servers getting server names that exist
cmd = new OdbcCommand("select * from sys.servers", dbc.openconn());
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (dr.Read())
{
cbservername.Properties.Items.Add(dr[1]);
}
dr.Close();
}

Database Backup

public void blank(string str)

{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(cbservername.Text) |
string.IsNullOrEmpty(cbdatabasename.Text))

return;
}
else
{
if (str == "backup")
{
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Text files (*.bak)|*.bak|All
files (*.*)|*.*";
if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
// the below query get backup of database you
specified in combobox
query("Backup database " + cbdatabasename.Text +
" to disk='" + saveFileDiaog1.FileName + "'");

XtraMessageBox.Show("Database BackUp has been

created successful.");
}
}
}
}

Database Restore

sqlcon);
