// Define distributor for application
Distributor distributor = 
    new Distributor(myApplication, "Distributor");
distributor.SystemName = notificationServicesHost;
distributor.QuantumDuration = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 15);
distributor.ThreadPoolSize = 2;
myApplication.Distributors.Add(distributor);

' Define distributor for application
Dim distributor As Distributor = New Distributor( _
    myApplication, "Distributor")
distributor.SystemName = notificationServicesHost
distributor.QuantumDuration = New TimeSpan(0, 0, 15)
distributor.ThreadPoolSize = 2
myApplication.Distributors.Add(distributor)
