As the error states, you are missing the Target: specification in the Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlTrigger Attribute. You can't use CLR to violate the requirement that a trigger exists on one and only one table. You are still going to have to write a separate trigger for every table, just as you would in TSQL, and for audit purposes, TSQL will outperform SQLCLR consistently.

You can find an example trigger in the Books Online:

thanks for reply. I am looking at someone else's code. And seen the code comment.

' This is the original template for Trigger metadata. Note that it is table-specific (i.e. it suggests

' that the trigger should apply to one table only).

' Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlTrigger(Name:="Trigger1", Target:="Table1", Event:="FOR UPDATE") _

' This is our actual declaration. Note that it does not specify any particular table. We don't know

' if it is Microsoft's intention to allow table-agnostic trigger code, but this works and we hope

' that it keeps working.

So does it mean that code will work on some specific version of VS.Net
