IObjectCol Interface
An object collection is a set of repository objects that can be enumerated. Two kinds of object collections are supported by the repository engine:
- The collection of destination objects that correspond to the relationships in a relationship collection. Use the ITargetObjectCol interface to manage this kind of collection.
- The collection of all objects in the repository that conform to a particular class or expose a particular interface.
When to Use
Use the IObjectCol interface to enumerate the collection of repository objects that conform to a particular class or expose a particular interface. With this interface, you can:
- Get a count of the number of objects in the collection.
- Enumerate the objects in the collection.
- Retrieve an IRepositoryObject pointer to one of the objects in the collection.
- Refresh the cached image of the object collection.
