I have downloaded and installed the latest version of MSSQL Server Management Studio. From the information that I found on-line, this should have installed all of SMO. Is this correct?

I cannot find the dll "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management". In particular I am interested in the "Transfer" method.

Is the Transfer method part of another dll that is included in the library for MSSQL Server Management Studio?

What I have tried:

Searched on line for information on this subject.

It could be in: Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended.dll
See: Transfer Class (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo) | Microsoft Docs[^]

The problem with using SMO is that it can change depending on the SQL Server version you have installed, for that reason I stopped using SMO a long time ago (and switched from SQL Server to PostgreSQL btw).

For more information about PostgreSQL see:

And here is an example on CodeProject: A PostgreSQL Notification Example[^]
