This section describes how to create a full-text search service in Visual Basic .NET.
The code example creates a full-text search catalog for the ProductCategory table in the AdventureWorks sample database. It then creates a full-text search index on the Name column in the ProductCategory table. The full-text search index requires that there is a unique index already defined on the column.
Creating a full-text service
- Start Visual Studio 2005. 
- From the File menu, select New Project. The New Project dialog box appears. 
- In the Project Types pane, select Visual Basic. In the Templates pane, select Console Application. 
- (Optional) In the Name box, type the name of the new application. 
- Click OK to load the Visual Basic console application template. 
- On the Project menu, select Add Reference item. The Add Reference dialog box appears. Select Browse and locate the SMO assemblies in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\SDK\Assemblies folder. Select the following files: - Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo.dll - Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll - Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll - Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum.dll 
- On the View menu, click Code.-Or-Select the Module1.vb window to display the code window. 
- In the code, before any declarations, type the following Imports statements to qualify the types in the SMO namespace: - Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common
- Insert the code that follows this procedure into the main program. 
- Run and build the application.

'Add the indexed column to the index.
fti.IndexedColumns.Add(ftic)
fti.ChangeTracking = ChangeTracking.Automatic
'Specify the unique index on the table that is required by the Full Text Search index.
fti.UniqueIndexName = "AK_ProductCategory_Name"
'Specify the catalog associated with the index.
fti.CatalogName = "Test_Catalog"

fti.Create()
