feO2x's answer works great but he didn't give code. The following works if you have your database connection string in your app.config.

    {
        using (
            var sqlConnection =
                new SqlConnection(
                    ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[connectionName]
                    .ConnectionString))
        {
            var serverConnection = new ServerConnection(sqlConnection);
            var server = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server(
                             serverConnection);
            server.KillDatabase(sqlConnection.Database);
        }
    }
}

You must reference System.Data, *System.Configuratio*n, Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo, Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc, and Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.
