The following code example creates a site collection within a specified Web application.
Dim webApp As SPWebApplication = New SPSite("http://MySiteCollection").WebApplication
Dim siteCollections As SPSiteCollection = webApp.Sites
Dim newSiteCollection As SPSite = siteCollections.Add("sites/Site_Name", "Site_Title", "Site_Description", 1033, "STS#0", "DOMAIN\User", "Owner_User_Name", "Owner_Email")
SPWebApplication webApp = new SPSite("http://MySiteCollection").WebApplication;
SPSiteCollection siteCollections = webApp.Sites;
SPSite newSiteCollection = siteCollections.Add("sites/Site_Name",
"Site_Title", "Site_Description", 1033, "STS#0",
