Property Value
The ApplicationDatabaseFileCollection object for the filegroup.
Remarks
Each filegroup can contain one or more database files. Use this property to get the collection of database files. Use the methods of the ApplicationDatabaseFileCollection class to add and remove database files.
After you deploy the application, you cannot add or delete database files. If you need to alter the database after deployment, use the Microsoft SQL Server tools, such as SQL Server Management Studio.
Example
The following examples show how to define an application database file and then use this property to add it to the ApplicationDatabaseFileCollection:
// 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)
