System.Data Namespace   DataTable Class

Sets or retrieves the initial starting size for this table.

The property is read/write with a default value of 25.

The MinimumCapacity allows the system to create an appropriate set of resources before fetching data. In a situation when performance is critical, setting this property can optimize performance.

The following example sets the MinimumCapacity of a DataTable.

Private void MinimumCapacityDemo ( DataTable myTable ) {
   // change the MinimumCapacity.
   myTable.MinimumCapacity = 100;
}

Private Sub MinimumCapacityDemo ( ByVal myTable As DataTable )
   ' change the MinimumCapacity.
   myTable.MinimumCapacity = 100
End Sub
