SQL Server 2019 Express Compatability

Question

I have a GUI tool that was designed to work with SQL Server 2008 that heavily relies on the following dll and function calls:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/microsoft.sqlserver.management.common.serverconnection.-ctor?view=sql-smo-160

if the server is updated to SQL Server 2019 Express, can the tool still use the same dll and function calls?

Any help is appreciate it.

Answer 1

Probably but in the end you may need to stand it up in a dev environment to test it. Also try asking in dedicated forums located here.
