smo create database object

Hello

Does anyone know if it is possible to use the smo db.Create() method to
create a new sql server database with sql server 2005 express? The debugger
complains that remote operations are not allowed with the default install of
sql server express.

Thank you

That is correct, you have to enable it first using the Surface tool.

I've tried the surface area configuration tool, but the database engine
settings pages states sql server express version can only be run in local
mode. Is there another surface tool I'm not aware of?

I'm only trying to use smo with my databases on my local c disk, so I'm not
sure why smo needs remote connectivity to do this?

It considers anything outside the database to be a remote connection.

When you run the Surface Area Configuration, and you go into Services and
Connections, and click on your database, does it show a line for "Remote
Connections" ? Set it to accept local and remote connections.

Yes it does show a 'remote connections' line but enabling this option didn't
work. I'll try re-installing the express version and selecting the 'mixed
mode' option to see if that helps.

Isn't there another line under that one that says something about Piped or
TCP/IP connections? I have both enabled.

Good luck.

As it turns out, the 'remote connections not allowed' error message was not
the cause of my problem. I spent a day trying every surface area setting and
reinstalling but the problem was actually fixed by correcting an error in my
connection string.

Smo is working fine now with my server in local mode only and I am able to
create database and tables via csharp code.
