Remarks

The AlterDomain method allows the user to take an existing domain and modify it, and then call AlterDomain passing it as an argument. Alternatively, the user may create a new instance of a domain with the same name, owner, and field type as an existing domain. The existing domain would be replaced with the new domain. The identifier of the new domain will be modified to match that of the existing domain that is being altered.

The main use of AlterDomain is for modifying the range or coded values associated with the domain.  Please note that the renaming of a Domain is only permitted through the use of the IWorkspaceDomains3.AlterDomainWithName method.
