The following exception is thrown:

Error Message: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.FailedOperationException: Drop failed for Database ‘4d982a46-58cb-4ddb-8999-28bd5bb900c7’. —> Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException: An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. —> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot drop database ‘4d982a46-58cb-4ddb-8999-28bd5bb900c7’ because it is currently in use.

Any idea what caused this?

Is it possible to call a SMO function to finalize any running Transact-SQL statements?

  1. As a guess, I wonder if your connection pool is counting against you – i.e. you have previously executed some commands on a SqlConnection that is now being kept around for re-use. You could try disabling pooling? (pooling=false in the connection string, IIRC).

    Also – have you been careful to close all your commands/connections/readers etc? Ideally via using? As a last resort, you could try using T-SQL to kill all the other spids from your machine – hacky, but it might work.
