Good Evening Everybody,

Please say how to restore a sql server database (.bak file) using vb.net?

And I am using this code ..

VB

sqlsring = "use master RESTORE DATABASE DBNAME from disk=DBPathName"

But I am getting this error.

"The backup set holds a backup of database other than the existing 'DBNAME' database.
Restore database is terminating abnormally. Changed database context to 'master'"

So Please tell me what is the solution for this error

Thank You.
