If your going to do it right! and you can use VS2010.

I would suggest using Entity Framework 4.3, it fully supports now database migration scripting too. So - when you change the definition of your class, it generates the DB Schema update - and therefore generates script, and even executes it on your DB. supports SQL Server, Express and even SQL Compact.

SMO is another good option.

Look in google on "Nerd Dinner MVC app" - its really good example of how EntityFramework works with MVC.

You should investigate the SQL Server Management Objects (SMO)
as one route to achieve your goal.

Other than that Google/Bing/Yahoo should be your constant companion. You will get far more help from there than you are likely to get here.

Try this library (but it supposes you have a database already created).

DBKeeperNet - Keeps Your DB Schema Up-to-date[^]

You can also use ADO.NET DbCommand and run SQL commands directly.

Assuming you are using SQL Server, you can do this using SQL Management Objects. If you google for SMO C#, you should get plenty of hits detailing how to use this.
