How to restore SQL Server database through C# code

Question

I try to restore the database like this:

                Cmd = new SqlCommand(SQL, Conn);
         


        

Answer 1

You must connect to the database server via a different database.

So your connection string should take you to say "Master" or another database on the server, then you can complete the task at hand.
