IGxCatalog.GetObjectFromFullName Method

    ByVal FullName As String, _
    ByRef numFound As Integer _
) As Object
[C#]
public object GetObjectFromFullName (
    string FullName,
    ref int numFound

Remarks

An example of duplicate names (numFound > 1) is a CAD drawing. ArcCatalog represents a CAD drawing as two GxObjects - as a CAD drawing and as a CAD dataset.
