SQLBulkCopy does not work - vb.net

Question

This is my first attempt to use sqlbulkcopy class. When I run it, nothing happens, no errors whatsoever. Please help me.
Here is my code:-
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim connectionString As String = GetConnectionString()
' Open a connection
Using sourceConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(connectionString)
sourceConnection.Open()
' Perform an initial count on the destination table.
Dim commandRowCount As New SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.BRANCH;", sourceConnection)
Dim countStart As Long = System.Convert.ToInt32(commandRowCount.ExecuteScalar())
Console.WriteLine("Starting row count = {0}", countStart)
' Get data from the source table as a SqlDataReader.
Dim commandSourceData As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("select * from BRANCH", sourceConnection)
Dim reader As SqlDataReader = commandSourceData.ExecuteReader
UpdateHQDB(reader)
End Using
End Sub
Private Function GetConnectionString() As String
Return "Data Source=127.0.0.1;Initial Catalog=SOURCEDB;User ID=sa;Password="
End Function
Private Function GetDestString() As String
Return "Data Source=192.168.123.194;Initial Catalog=DESTINATIONDB;User ID=sa;Password="
End Function
Public Sub UpdateHQDB(ByVal reader)
Dim DestConString As String = GetDestString()
' Open a connection
Using DestinationConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(DestConString)
DestinationConnection.Open()
' Perform an initial count on the destination table.
Dim DestcommandRowCount As New SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dbo.BRANCH;", DestinationConnection)
Dim DestcountStart As Long = System.Convert.ToInt32(DestcommandRowCount.ExecuteScalar())
Console.WriteLine("Starting row count at destination = {0}", DestcountStart)
Using bulkCopy As SqlBulkCopy = New SqlBulkCopy(DestinationConnection)
bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "dbo.BRANCH"
Try
' Write from the source to the destination.
bulkCopy.WriteToServer(reader)
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
Finally
' Close the SqlDataReader. The SqlBulkCopy
' object is automatically closed at the end
' of the Using block.
reader.Close()
End Try
End Using
' Perform a final count on the destination table
' to see how many rows were added.
Dim countEnd As Long = _
System.Convert.ToInt32(DestcommandRowCount.ExecuteScalar())
Console.WriteLine("Ending row count = {0}", countEnd)
Console.WriteLine("{0} rows were added.", countEnd - DestcountStart)
Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to finish.")
Console.ReadLine()
End Using
End Sub
End Class

i would say that use NotifyAfter and SqlRowsCopied event of SqlBulkCopy to troubleshoot
following code in c#
sb.NotifyAfter = 1;
sb.SqlRowsCopied += new SqlRowsCopiedEventHandler(sb_SqlRowsCopied);
void sb_SqlRowsCopied(object sender, SqlRowsCopiedEventArgs e)
{
// See if this event fired
}
