When To Use
The IObjectClass interface is the main interface used to get the properties of an object class in a geodatabase. An object class is a feature class or table that has been registered with the geodatabase. For example, you can use the IObjectClass interface to get a list of all the relationship classes in which an object class participates.

Remarks
All object classes support the IObjectClass interface and this interface inherits from the IClass interface. The CLSID, EXTCLSID, and Extension for an ObjectClass may be obtained via the corresponding methods inherited from IClass.
For programming convenience, pre-existing tables in the host RDBMS also support the IObjectClass interface even if they have not been registered with the Geodatabase. Such tables can be distinguished from registered object classes because they return an ObjectClassID of -1 and return False to the HasOID method. New object classes in a Geodatabase that are created using the CreateTable method on the IFeatureWorkspace interface are automatically registered with the Geodatabase and assigned an object class ID.
If no AliasName has been defined for an object class, then the AliasName is equal to the Name.
