CoClasses that implement ISynchronizationHelper

Remarks

ISynchronizationHelper may still be used to write FGDC format metadata, if desired. You may use any of the Populate or Extract methods to force specific aspects of the metadata to be synchronized. The methods
whose names begin Populate� write information into the metadata that relates to the processing environment, such as the version of ArcGIS software that is being used. The Extract� methods take an input object such as IRelationshipClass and write properties of this object into the metadata. Calls to the Extract or Populate methods should be preceded by StartSynchronization and proceeded by FinishSynchronization.

Most ArcObjects code will not need to use this interface, as it's already called by other ArcObjects components when needed.
