# CacheSize Property Example (VC++)
This example uses the [CacheSize](../../../ado/reference/ado-api/cachesize-property-ado.md) property to show the difference in performance for an operation performed with and without a 30-record cache.  
  
```  
// CacheSize_Property_Sample.cpp  
// compile with: /EHsc  
#import "msado15.dll" no_namespace rename("EOF", "EndOfFile")  
  
#include <ole2.h>  
#include <stdio.h>  
#include <conio.h>  
#include <winbase.h>  
  
// Function declarations  
inline void TESTHR(HRESULT x) { if FAILED(x) _com_issue_error(x); };  
void CacheSizeX();  
void PrintProviderError(_ConnectionPtr pConnection);  
void PrintComError(_com_error &e);  
  
int main() {  
   if ( FAILED(::CoInitialize(NULL)) )  
      return -1;  
  
   CacheSizeX();  
   ::CoUninitialize();  
}  
  
void CacheSizeX() {  
   // Define ADO object pointers.  Initialize pointers on define.  
   // These are in the ADODB:: namespace  
   _RecordsetPtr pRstRoySched = NULL;  
  
   // Define Other Variables

      pRstRoySched->CacheSize = 30;
