hi all,

I am trying to write a method that launches an Agent job from an asp.net page, I need:

using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Agent;

I tried Project-> Add Reference, but found nothing when Searching for Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.

Any idea what I need to install and where do I get it?

Thanks,
elsvieta

    write a method that launches an Agent job

    Easier way is with a SQL command + plain SQL with sp_start_job (Transact-SQL)

    Try to use the “Manage NuGet Packages...” command for your project, go to Browse tab, find and install the Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlManagementObjects package.

    Hi @elsvieta,

    Beginning with SQL Server 2017 SMO is distributed as the Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlManagementObjects NuGet package to allow users to develop applications with SMO.
