    <p>I am trying to run this seemingly simple piece of code which is repeated several times all over the net, but I am getting errors in the code:</p> <pre><code>Imports System.Data.SqlClient Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common Private Sub BackupDatabaseToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BackupDatabaseToolStripMenuItem.Click 'Connect to the local, default instance of SQL Server. Dim srv As Server srv = New Server 'Reference the AdventureWorks2008R2 database. Dim db As Database db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks2008R2") 'Store the current recovery model in a variable. Dim recoverymod As Integer recoverymod = db.DatabaseOptions.RecoveryModel 'Define a Backup object variable. Dim bk As New Backup 'Specify the type of backup, the description, the name, and the database to be backed up. bk.Action = BackupActionType.Database bk.BackupSetDescription = "Full backup of AdventureWorks2008R2" bk.BackupSetName = "AdventureWorks2008R2 Backup" bk.Database = "AdventureWorks2008R2" 'Declare a BackupDeviceItem by supplying the backup device file name in the constructor, and the type of device is a file.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
