Manipulating Objects in a Workspace
Repository objects implement the IWorkSpaceItem interface in order to support workspace-related capabilities. The IWorkSpaceItem interface is available at both the COM level and the Automation level. Given a specific version of a repository object, you can perform the workspace-related operations listed in the following table.
| To | Use |
|---|---|
| Determine whether an object version is checked out to a workspace | The CheckedOutToWorkspace property of the IWorkSpaceItem interface. |
| Determine which workspaces contain a particular object version | The Workspaces collection of the IWorkSpaceItem interface that is exposed by the object version. |
| Add an object version to a workspace | The IWorkspace interface to obtain access to the Contents collection. Then use the Add method of the Contents collection to add an object version to the workspace. |
| Remove an object version from a workspace | The IWorkspace interface to obtain access to the Contents collection. Then use the Remove method of the Contents collection to remove the object version from the workspace. |
| Check an object version out to a workspace | The CheckOut method of the IWorkSpaceItem interface that is exposed by the object version. |
| Check an object version in from a workspace | The CheckIn method of the IWorkSpaceItem interface that is exposed by the object version. |
