ICatalogObject::get_Key method (comadmin.h)

Retrieves the key property of the object.

This property is read-only.

Syntax

HRESULT get_Key(
  VARIANT *pvarRetVal
);

Parameters

pvarRetVal

Return value

None

Remarks

The key property serves as the primary identifier for a collection. In some cases, it is a GUID, such as CLSID for a component; in some cases, it is the object name, as with roles. The key property of a collection is identified in the documentation for each specific collection of the COM+ Administration Collections.

If you add a new object and save it with the key property of an existing object, you overwrite the existing object.
