Can't immediately connect to newly-created SQL Server database

Question

I\'m creating a database using SQL Server Management Objects.

I wrote the following method to generate a database:

public static void CreateClientDat

You have to approach the database creation a little bit different. The code below handles the database creation correctly. Try it ;)

private void CreateDatabase(string databaseName)
{

    Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server sqlServer = 
            new Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server(_connection);

    Database createdDatabase = new Database();
    createdDatabase.Name = databaseName;
    createdDatabase.Parent = sqlServer;
    createdDatabase.Create();

}

In the code below, the _connection is a

Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ServerConnection

object by the way.

[Edit] Modified the code so the exception is not swallowed anymore.
