Description

The AlterClassExtensionCLSID method is used to change the class extension for an object class in the Geodatabase. For example, you may have a class to which you want to associate a class extension that you have developed. You use the AlterClassExtensionCLSID to do so.

Remarks

AlterClassExtensionCLSID will try to instantiate the object for the class extension that you provide. If it fails to instantiate it, the method will fail. Therefore, you must have the DLL which has the implementation of your class extension registered on your system before you call AlterClassExtensionCLSID.

Before you QI for AlterClassExtensionCLSID, you will have had to open the object class. So, if this fails because you no longer have the DLL registered on your system for a class extension that is already associated with the class, then you must use the IFeatureWorkspaceSchemaEdit interface to alter the class extension CLSID.
