Cannot drop database because it is currently in use

Question

I want to drop a database. I have used the following code, but to no avail.

public void DropDataBase(string DBName,SqlConnection scon)
{
    try
    {
               


        

Answer 1

just renaming the DB (to be delete) did the trick for me. it got off the hold of whatever process was accessing the database, and so I was able to drop the database.
