ArcObjects Library Reference (GeoDatabase)  

IScratchWorkspaceFactory2 Interface

Provides access to members to get the current scratch workspace.

Product Availability

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

Description

IScratchWorkspaceFactory is used to create temporary personal geodatabases in the current user's temporary directory.

The first time IScratchWorkspaceFactory.DefaultScratchWorkspace is called, it will create a new temporary workspace and pass it back.  Subsequent calls to this method will return the same workspace.  When the application is closed, the default scratch workspace will be deleted.

Workspaces created by IScratchWorkspaceFactory.CreateNewScratchWorkspace will be automatically deleted when the last reference to them is released.

IScratchWorkspaceFactory.CurrentScratchWorkspace will return a null value if the default scratch workspace has not been created yet, otherwise it will return the default scratch workspace.
