ICopyHelper Interface (ArcObjects .NET 10.4 SDK)
ArcObjects Library Reference (GeoDatabase)  

ICopyHelper Interface

Provides access to helper functions for post-processing copied metadata.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Description

This interface can be used to update the metadata of a dataset, a geodatabase, or a standalone XML file after it's been copied. In most cases, explicitly calling this interface isn't necessary, because ArcCatalog will perform this operation for you, as will most programmatic copying methods (i.e. the methods of IGeoDBDataTransfer and IFeatureDataConverter).
