I have an existing application that transfers a Database from a source server to a target server via SMO “Transfer”. We transfer only the data.

Both SQL-Servers are 2005.

Now we upgrade the target server to SQL-Server 2008. Will the transfer via SMO still work?

    This didn’t work out of the box. I had to use the SMO-dll of SQL Server 2008. They have slightly different names.
    It was not necessary to change code.

    My databases where set to use SQLServer 2005 compatibility mode. I had to change them to native SQLServer 2008 mode.
