CoClasses that implement IWorkspaceFactory

Remarks

A WorkspaceFactory is a dispenser of workspaces and allows a client to connect to a workspace specified by a set of connection properties. A workspace represents a database or a datasource that contains one or more datasets. Examples of datasets include tables, feature classes and relationship classes. A WorkspaceFactory is a cocreatable, singleton object. Connection properties are specified using a PropertySet object and can be saved to a connection file. A WorkspaceFactory also supports methods that can be used to browse and manage file system workspaces, and methods to manage connection files for remote database workspaces.
