Remarks

CreateNetwork should be used to create a logical network that is not associated with a geometric network. If you want to create a geometric network that with it's associated logical network, use:

INetworkCollection::CreateGeometricNetwork

INetworkCollection2::CreateGeometricNetworkEx

INetworkLoader

Use INetworkWorkspace2::CreateNetworkEx to create a stand-alone logical network based on a configuration keyword.

The connectivity for the logical network is stored in a series of tables in the database. The actual connectivity is managed in a series of BLOBs.

As of the 10.0 release; the CreateNetwork method is no longer supported on Logical Networks that is not associated with a geometric network.
