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

IPlugInMetadata Interface

Provides access to members that manage property set metadata for a plug-in.

Product Availability

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

Description

May be implemented by a plug-in workspace helper class if a plug-in data source has its own metadata engine.

Members

Description
Read-only property CanEditMetadata Indicates if the metadata for the indicated dataset currently writable.
Read/write property Metadata A property set containing the metadata for the indicated dataset.

Remarks

You should implement either IPlugInMetadata or IPlugInMetadataPath on your plug-in workspace helper for successful operation of the Export Data command in ArcMap. This command uses the FeatureDataConverter object which relies on metadata capabilities of data sources.
