Example

The following examples show how to define an application database file:

// Define and add a filegroup
ApplicationDatabaseFileGroup adb_fg = 
    new ApplicationDatabaseFileGroup(adb, "PRIMARY");
adb.ApplicationDatabaseFileGroups.Add(adb_fg);

// Define and add a database file
ApplicationDatabaseFile adb_file1 = 
    new ApplicationDatabaseFile(adb_fg, "MyApp_PrimaryFile1");
adb_file1.FileName = @"C:\NS\Full\MyApp_PrimaryFile1.mdf";
adb_file1.InitialSize = "10MB";
adb_file1.MaxSize = "50MB";
adb_file1.GrowthIncrement = "10%";
adb_fg.ApplicationDatabaseFiles.Add(adb_file1);
' Define and add a filegroup
Dim adb_fg As ApplicationDatabaseFileGroup = _
    New ApplicationDatabaseFileGroup(adb, "PRIMARY")
adb.ApplicationDatabaseFileGroups.Add(adb_fg)

' Define and add a database file
Dim adb_file1 As ApplicationDatabaseFile = _
    New ApplicationDatabaseFile(adb_fg, "MyApp_PrimaryFile1")
adb_file1.FileName = "C:\NS\Full\MyApp_PrimaryFile1.mdf"
adb_file1.InitialSize = "10MB"
adb_file1.MaxSize = "50MB"
adb_file1.GrowthIncrement = "10%"
adb_fg.ApplicationDatabaseFiles.Add(adb_file1)
