ObjectCol Object

An object collection is a set of repository objects that can be enumerated. Two kinds of object collections are supported by the repository engine:

• The collection of destination objects that correspond to the relationships in a relationship collection. Use the RelationshipCol object to manage this kind of collection.
  
  
• The collection of all objects in a repository that conform to a particular class or expose a particular interface. You can instantiate a collection by using the ObjectInstances method.

When to Use

Use the ObjectCol object to enumerate the collection of repository objects that conform to a particular class or expose a particular interface. With this object, you can:

• Get a count of the number of objects in the collection.
  
  
• Retrieve one of the objects in the collection.
  
  
• Refresh the cached image of the object collection.
