Remarks
You can assign a default value to a field in an object class at either the class level, or the subtype level. The AlterDefaultValue method on IClassSchemaEdit allows you to set a default value for a field at the class level.
AlterDefaultValue takes as arguments the name of the field you want to associate a default value with as a string, and the default value you are associating as a variant. AlterDefaultValue will fail if the default value cannot be stored in the field.
Once a default value is associated with a field in your object class, you can use the InitDefaultValues method on IRowSubtypes to populate the fields in a object in your object class with its default value. This method is most often called after you have created a new feature or object in the object class, and before storing it.
