How to: Construct an Object in Visual Basic .NET
This section describes how to call the constructor of a Database object in Visual Basic .NET.
The constructor of any object can be called by using the New operator. The Database object constructor is overloaded and the version of the Database object constructor that is used in the sample takes two parameters: the parent Server object to which the database belongs, and a string that represents the name of the new database.
