public void MaxSize(
	uint GBytes,
	uint Bytes
)
Visual Basic (Declaration)

Parameters

GBytes
Type: System..::.UInt32
The size of the database is set to GBytes gigabytes plus Bytes.
Bytes
Type: System..::.UInt32
The size of the database is set to GBytes gigabytes plus Bytes.

Remarks

The size specified must be at least three times the database page size. The database must contain at least three database pages. You can set the database page size using PageSize. If this value is set for an existing database, the size specified here must match the size used to create the database. Specifying an incorrect size does not result in an error until the database is opened.
