SMO question: Cannot attach database using captured SQL

Question

Hi,
I have the following code
ServerConnection conn = new ServerConnection(".\\SQLEXPRESS");
Server svr = new Server(conn);
svr.ConnectionContext.SqlExecutionModes = SqlExecutionModes.CaptureSql;
StringCollection sc = new StringCollection();
sc.Add(Smo.DatabaseFilePath);
sc.Add(Smo.DatabaseLogPath);
svr.AttachDatabase(Smo.DatabaseFilePath.ToUpper(), sc, AttachOptions.None);
int[] results = svr.ConnectionContext.ExecuteNonQuery(svr.ConnectionContext.CapturedSql.Text);
svr = null;
conn.Disconnect();
conn = null;
It works fine if I call svr.AttachDatabase(Smo.DatabaseFilePath.ToUpper(), sc, AttachOptions.None) directly without going through the captured SQL.
Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance.

Hi superflyguy71,
Please , could you tell what you mean with these both code lines ?
sc.Add(Smo.DatabaseFilePath);
sc.Add(Smo.DatabaseLogPath);
I don't know any class or property named DatabaseFilePath or DatabaseLogPath in the namespace Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo in any version of Smo since its creation ( 2005 )
Compare

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms210175(v=sql.120).aspx
I am not sure that this code could even be compiled with errors.
Have a nice day
PS : I would suggest you to have a look at this old thread ( with no use of AttachOptions )
