public interface IPlugInMetadataPath
extends Serializable

Provides access to members that manage file metadata for a plug-in.

IPlugInMetadataPath2

Description

This interface may be implemented by a plug-in workspace helper class that does not implement IPlugInMetadata.

Remarks

You should implement either IPlugInMetadata or IPlugInMetadataPath on your plug-in workspace helper for successful operation of the Export Data command in ArcMap. This command uses the FeatureDataConverter object which relies on metadata capabilities of data sources.
