The Repository property is the open repository instance or workspace through which this repository object was instantiated. This is a read-only property.
This property is not attached to the default interface for the repository Automation object; it is attached to the IRepositoryObject interface. For more information about accessing a member of an interface that is not the default interface, see Accessing Automation Object Members.
Set variable = object.Repository
The Repository property syntax has the following parts.
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| variable | A variable declared as a reference to any object implementing the IRepository interface. It receives the object that represents the open Repository instance or the workspace. |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to a RepositoryObjectVersion object. |
The returned reference can refer to either a repository instance or a workspace. If it refers to a workspace, you manipulate the item within the context of that workspace. If it refers to a repository object, you manipulate the item within the context of a shared repository instance.
