Workspace Containers Collection
This collection specifies the root object that contains this workspace. Although the maximum size of the collection is defined as unlimited, the collection always contains one object. This is because there is only one root object, and only the root object can contain workspaces.
Syntax
Set variable = object.Containers(index)
The Containers collection syntax has the following parts.
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| variable | A variable declared as a ReposRoot object or as any object that supports the IWorkspaceContainer interface. It receives the object containing the interface. |
| object | The object that represents a Workspace object. |
| index | An integer index that identifies which element in the collection is to be addressed. This value must be one, because in this release, the root object is the only object that implements the IWorkspaceContainer interface. For more information, see Selecting Items in a Collection. |
Remarks
The following characteristics are true for this collection.
| Collection characteristic | Value | Description |

| Relationship Type | WsContainer_Contains_Workspace | This is the type of relationship by which all items of the collection are connected to a common source object. |
| Source Is Origin | No | The source object for the collection is not the same as the origin object. |
| Minimum Collection Size | One | The minimum number of items that must be contained in the collection is one. |
| Maximum Collection Size | Many | The maximum number of items that can be contained in the collection is unlimited. |
| Sequenced Collection | No | As a destination collection, this does not have an explicitly defined sequence. Collections of origin objects are never sequenced. |
