| DataServerManager | Object to administer a Data Server. |
The IDataServerManager interface allows you perform general operations on a Database Server, such as Connect or Disconnect, etc. To connect to a Database Server, you must first initialize the DataServerManager by setting the ServerName property or the InitFromFile method:
dataserverManager.ServerName = "minnie\\sqlexpress";
dataserverManager.InitFromFile ("C:\\Documents and Settings\\bobm\\Application Data\\ESRI\\ArcCatalog\\minnie_SQLEXPRESS.GDS");
Operations performed on the server service itself, such as stopping and starting the server, must be performed will disconnected from the server.
// The following code example demonstrates how to establish a connection to a database server in order
// to open an existing workspace\geodatabase
public void esriDataSourcesGDB__IDataServerManager()
{
// Create a Data Server Manager object
IDataServerManager dataserverManager = new DataServerManagerClass();
dataserverManager.ServerName = "minnie\\sqlexpress";
dataserverManager.Connect();
// Create a new workspace name object for the geodatabase we want to open
IDataServerManagerAdmin dataservermanagerAdmin = (IDataServerManagerAdmin)dataserverManager;
IWorkspaceName workspaceName = dataservermanagerAdmin.CreateWorkspaceName ("Landbase", "VERSION", "dbo.DEFAULT");
// Open the workspace
IName name = (IName)workspaceName;
IWorkspace workspace = (IWorkspace)name.Open();
