Specifies the initial number of individuals to make in the Population before attempting to solve your solution. Use this property to quickly and easily define the population size. The InitialPopulation property specifies the minimum initial population.

Your population size has a substantial bearing on whether the genetic component can find a solution, too small a population may be unable to evolve towards a solution, too large a population wastes processing power. |
