IReposRoot Interface

The IReposRoot interface is a placeholder interface; it contains no properties, methods, or collections beyond Automation dispatch methods. It is provided as a convenient connection point to the root object. When you create an information model, you can attach to this interface a relationship collection that provides a navigational connection to the primary objects of your information model.

When to Use

Use the IReposRoot interface as a starting point to navigate to other objects in the repository.
