Workspaces and Repository Instances

In many respects, operating within a workspace is just like operating within a larger repository instance. Both the Workspace class and the Repository class implement the IRepository2 interface. There are, however, some important differences:

• Some methods exposed by the IRepository2 interface apply only to Repository instances, not to workspaces. You cannot call Open or Create on a workspace object.
  
  
• Unlike repository connections, workspaces are named persistent repository objects. Thus, workspaces can be created, used across multiple sessions, and deleted, if necessary.
