More On Restoring Database In User Instance - Exclusive Use Not Obtained

Hi all. I have read and implemented the very helpful threads on backing up and restoring with user instance posted with MFriedlander. Thank you. However, during the rs.SqlRestore(srv) command I am getting the following error "Restore failed for Server '\.pipe4A1F91FF-F6FE-45 sqlquery'. "
"Exclusive access could not be obtained because the database is in use."

I have implemented the changedatabase method as described in that thread.

SqlConnection.ChangeDatabase("master")

right before the line

rs.SqlRestore(srv)

I do not use the default instance of sql express, but I do use an instance called 'test' for my app. Should my changedatabase method also refer to my sql instance?

I am running from VS 2005 debug (F5) when it fails and cannot think of anything that would be locking it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Below is the full code of the restore.

Dim sqlconnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(My.Settings.dbTestConnectionString)

sqlconnection.Open()

MsgBox(sqlconnection.Database.ToString())

Dim ServerConnection As ServerConnection = New ServerConnection(sqlconnection)

Dim srv As Server = New Server(ServerConnection)

'Declare a BackupDeviceItem by supplying the backup device file name in the constructor, and the type of device is a file.

Dim bdi As BackupDeviceItem

bdi = New BackupDeviceItem(txtRestoreFile.Text, DeviceType.File)

''Define a Restore object variable.

Dim rs As New Restore

'Set the NoRecovery property to true, so the transactions are not recovered.

rs.NoRecovery = True

rs.ReplaceDatabase = True

'Add the device that contains the full database backup to the Restore object.

rs.Devices.Add(bdi)

'don't know why the below norecovery is changed to false

rs.NoRecovery = False

'Specify the database name.

rs.Database = sqlconnection.Database.ToString()

sqlconnection.ChangeDatabase("master")

'Restore the full database backup with no recovery.

rs.SqlRestore(srv)
