Create has different results depending on the type of workspace factory. If you are working with ArcSDE, a new connection file (.sde) is created. If you are working with an ArcInfo workspace factory, then a folder with an INFO subfolder is created. The optional ConnectionProperties parameter specifies any additional connection properties needed, such as the server, instance, user and password in the case where a connection file to a remote database workspace is being created. If no connection properties are specified, then this method will result in a dialog being displayed that prompts the user for the required properties.
