Examples

The following example creates a new SqlConnectionStringBuilder instance, and sets the AttachDBFilename property in order to specify the name of an attached data file.

using System.Data.SqlClient;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            string connectString =
                "Server=(local);" +
                "Integrated Security=true";
            SqlConnectionStringBuilder builder =
                new SqlConnectionStringBuilder(connectString);
            Console.WriteLine("Original: " + builder.ConnectionString);
            Console.WriteLine("AttachDBFileName={0}", builder.AttachDBFilename);

            builder.AttachDBFilename = @"C:\MyDatabase.mdf";
            Console.WriteLine("Modified: " + builder.ConnectionString);

            using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(builder.ConnectionString))
            {
                connection.Open();
                // Now use the open connection.
                Console.WriteLine("Database = " + connection.Database);
            }
            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to finish.");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        }
    }
}
Imports System.Data.SqlClient

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Try
            Dim connectString As String = _
             "Server=(local);" & _
             "Integrated Security=True"
            Dim builder As New SqlConnectionStringBuilder(connectString)
            Console.WriteLine("Original: " & builder.ConnectionString)
            Console.WriteLine("AttachDBFileName={0}", _
             builder.AttachDBFilename)
            builder.AttachDBFilename = "C:\MyDatabase.mdf"
            Console.WriteLine("Modified: " & builder.ConnectionString)

            Using connection As New SqlConnection(builder.ConnectionString)
                connection.Open()
                ' Now use the open connection.
                Console.WriteLine("Database = " & connection.Database)
            End Using

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to finish.")
            Console.ReadLine()

        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
End Module

Remarks

This property corresponds to the "AttachDBFilename", "extended properties", and "initial file name" keys within the connection string.

AttachDBFilename is only supported for primary data files with an .mdf extension.

An error will be generated if a log file exists in the same directory as the data file and the 'database' keyword is used when attaching the primary data file. In this case, remove the log file. Once the database is attached, a new log file will be automatically generated based on the physical path.
