As you pointed out. This question has already been asked without a satisfactory answer.

SMO is strictly manage code. The previous version, DMO, could be used in unmanaged code. If you need to use SMO, you have to use either C++/CLI or create wrappers for COM.

From the MSDN Documentation on SMO:

The SMO object model supersedes and
replaces SQL-DMO. SMO supports SQL
Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, and SQL
Server 2008. It supports more SQL
Server management tasks and contains
many new features in SQL Server. SMO
is designed to be more efficient and
provide more control.

The DMO library is a COM object model,
whereas SMO is implemented as a .NET
Framework assembly. COM components are
libraries that provide re-usable
functionality to applications and in
unmanaged application programming. The
.NET Framework assemblies provide
reusable functionality for the .NET
Framework to write managed code
applications.

During the transition to .NET
Framework technology it is possible to
have applications written partly in
managed code and partly in unmanaged
code. The .NET Framework lets you
interface with COM components, which
requires a Primary Interop Assembly. A
runtime wrapper is required for
SQL-DMO so that it can be called from
a .NET Framework -based application.
