I have a development database that re-deploy frequently from a Visual Studio Database project (via a TFS Auto Build).

You can get the script that SSMS provides by doing the following:

1. Right-click on a database in SSMS and choose delete
2. In the dialog, check the checkbox for "Close existing connections."
3. Click the Script button at the top of the dialog.

The script will look something like this:

USE [master]
GO
ALTER DATABASE [YourDatabaseName] SET  SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
GO
USE [master]
GO
DROP DATABASE [YourDatabaseName]
GO
