IReposTypeLib Interface
There is one repository type library for every information model contained in the repository. Each information model provides a logical grouping of all of the type definitions related to a particular tool (or tool set).
To add a new repository type library to the repository, use the IManageReposTypeLib interface.
When to Use
Use the IReposTypeLib interface to:
- Define new classes, relationship types, and interfaces for an information model.
- Retrieve or modify the global identifier associated with a repository type library.
- Determine which type definitions are associated with a particular repository type library.
