SMO objects can't be scripted when IsDesignMode == true #27

            // setting ServerVersion allows setting Database.Parent without a server query to get the version
            // set TrueName to ensure the URN that identifies the Server is complete

            var server = new Management.Smo.Server(serverConnection);
