Repository GetCollection Method
This method returns a result set based on selection criteria. The result set is a collection of repository objects. When you use this method on the repository session object, the repository engine filters the collection of all objects in the repository database.
This property is not attached to the default interface for the repository Automation object; it is attached to the IReposQuery interface. For more information about accessing a member of an interface that is not the default interface, see Accessing Automation Object Members.
