'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Shared Function CreateFromSnapshot( _
   ByVal fileName As System.String, _
   Optional ByVal snapshotOperationProgress As System.EventHandler(Of SnapshotOperationEventArgs) _
) As SqlDatabase

public static SqlDatabase CreateFromSnapshot( 
   System.string fileName,
   System.EventHandler<SnapshotOperationEventArgs> snapshotOperationProgress
)

public: static SqlDatabase* CreateFromSnapshot( 
   System.string* fileName,
   System.EventHandler<SnapshotOperationEventArgs*>* snapshotOperationProgress
)

Parameters

fileName: The snapshot filename.
snapshotOperationProgress: A method that should be attached to the snapshot event in order to get progress information.

Return Value

A SqlDatabase object.

This method creates a database object and loads its entire schema from the snapshot. The newly created database behaves like any other database created from live sources.

The following example demonstrates how to load the database from a snapshot:

C#

using xSQL.Schema.Core;
using xSQL.Schema.SqlServer;
using xSQL.SchemaCompare.SqlServer;
            
namespace xSQL.Sdk.SchemaCompare.Samples
{
    class Test
    {
        public static void CreateDatabaseFromSnapshot()
        {
            SqlDatabase database;
            SqlTable table;
            ScriptingOptions options;
            
            try
            {
                //--create the database object from the snapshot file
                database = SqlDatabase.CreateFromSnapshot(@"C:\AdventureWorks.snpx");
                
                //--locate and script the Employee table
                table = database.SqlTables["HumanResources", "Employee"];
                if (table != null)
                {
                    options = new ScriptingOptions();
                    options.CreateScript = true;
                    options.DropScript = false;
                    options.AlterScript = false;
                    
                    Console.Write(table.GetScript(options));
                }
                
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
            }
        }
    }
}
