In the connection string you can attach a database if the database has not already been attached. To do this in C# you should be able to do the following (this is untested):

    SQLConnection conn;
    try
    {
        conn = new SQLConnection(String.Format("Server={0};AttachDbFilename={1};Database=dbname; Trusted_Connection=Yes;", "Server Address", @"Path To Database"));
        conn.Open();
        conn.Close();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        throw;
    }
    finally
    {
        conn.Dispose();
    }

Let me know how you get on.
