[Visual Basic .NET] Public Function GetObjectFromFullName ( _ ByVal FullName As String, _ ByRef numFound As Integer _ ) As Object
[C#] public object GetObjectFromFullName ( string FullName, ref int numFound );
An example of duplicate names (numFound > 1) is a CAD drawing. ArcCatalog represents a CAD drawing as two GxObjects - as a CAD drawing and as a CAD dataset.
