How set hard quota to my site?

Question

Hi all, 
I am setting the disk quota as following.
if (siteTemplate.ToLower() != MySiteHostTemplate.ToLower())
                    Int64 i64DiskSpace = diskspace;
                    SPTlogger.Debug("diskSpace: " + i64DiskSpace.ToString());
                    i64DiskSpace = (i64DiskSpace * 1024) * 1024;
                    SPQuotaTemplate quotaTemplate = null;
                    try
                        quotaTemplate = GetSPTQuotaTemplateByStorageMaxLevel(i64DiskSpace);
                        if (quotaTemplate == null)
                            //we are not supporting storagewarninglevel; setting it 90% of storagemaxlevel
                            long storagewarninglevel = (i64DiskSpace * 90) / 100;
                            long storagemaxlevelMB = (i64DiskSpace / 1024) / 1024;
                            string templateName = string.Format("{0}({1}MB)", i64DiskSpace, storagemaxlevelMB);
                            quotaTemplate = CreateSPTQuotaTemplate(templateName, i64DiskSpace, storagewarninglevel);
                        if (Site != null)
                            Site.Quota = quotaTemplate;
                    catch (Exception ex)
                        SPTlogger.Error("-------------------------ERROR-------------------------");
                        SPTlogger.Error("Error while fetching quota template: " + ex.Message);
                        if (Site != null)
                            Site.Quota.StorageMaximumLevel = i64DiskSpace;
                            Site.Quota.StorageWarningLevel = (i64DiskSpace * 90) / 100;
                // end setting disk quota template
                if (Site != null) Site.Close();
It is setting the disk quota. however during file upload, larger file are also being uploaded. What is missing here?

Hi,
The following code snippet for your reference:
SPSite siteCollection = new SPSite("http://MySiteCollection");
SPQuota quota = siteCollection.Quota;
quota.StorageMaximumLevel = 5242880; //bytes
quota.StorageWarningLevel = 5242880; //bytes
siteCollection.Quota = quota;
I suggest you debug your code or provide more code(like the GetSPTQuotaTemplateByStorageMaxLevel
and CreateSPTQuotaTemplate methods) for further research.
