Remarks

CreateWorkspaceName takes as input a geodatabase name (gdbName), type of version (versionPropName) and version name (versionSpecifier) and returns a WorkspaceName object to the specified geodatabase and version.

There are 3 valid values for the versionPropName property:

You must initialize the Data Server Manager object before using this method.  The Data Server Manager can be initialized through the use of IDataServerManager.InitFromFile or IDataServerManager.ServerName and then calling IDataServerManager.Connect.

[C#]

// The following code example demonstrates how to establish a connection to a database server in order
// to open an existing workspace\geodatabase
public void esriDataSourcesGDB__IDataServerManager()
{
    // Create a Data Server Manager object
    IDataServerManager dataserverManager = new DataServerManagerClass();
    dataserverManager.ServerName = "minnie\\sqlexpress";

    dataserverManager.Connect();

    // Create a new workspace name object for the geodatabase we want to open
    IDataServerManagerAdmin dataservermanagerAdmin = (IDataServerManagerAdmin)dataserverManager;
    IWorkspaceName workspaceName = dataservermanagerAdmin.CreateWorkspaceName ("Landbase", "VERSION", "dbo.DEFAULT");

    // Open the workspace
    IName name = (IName)workspaceName;
    IWorkspace workspace = (IWorkspace)name.Open();
}
