It is good but I am looking for something that could run on SQL Server Express also. Thanks any way.

Tried following to detach, Dim conn2 As New SqlConnection("Server=MyHomeServer\SQLExpress;Database=master;Trusted_Connection=False;User ID=sa;Password=abc123;")
Dim cmd2 As New SqlCommand("", conn2)
cmd2.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmd2.CommandText = "sp_detach_db 'MyHomeDBTestPWD'"
conn2.Open()
cmd2.Connection = conn2
cmd2.ExecuteNonQuery()

Error:
Could not find stored procedure 'sp_detach_db 'MyHomeDBTestPWD''.
