The size is specified in megabytes and should be the same as when the database was originally created unless you have opted to automatically grow or shrink the database. The space allocated within the database can be determined using the SpaceAvailable property.

This namespace, class, or member is supported only in version 2.0 of the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Example

'Connect to the local, default instance of SQL Server.
Dim srv As Server
srv = New Server

'Reference the AdventureWorks database.
Dim db As Database
db = srv.Databases("AdventureWorks")

'Display size and space information for the database.
Console.WriteLine("data space usage (KB): " + _
db.DataSpaceUsage.ToString)
Console.WriteLine("index space usage (KB): " + _
db.IndexSpaceUsage.ToString)
Console.WriteLine("space available (KB): " + _
db.SpaceAvailable.ToString)
