Description

Adds a Point to a PointCollection.  If before and after are omitted, the Point is added to the end of the PointCollection.  Additionally, by specifying either the before or after index, the Point can be added at a specific location in the PointCollection.

[C#]

    public void AddPointToPointCollection()
    {
        IPoint point = new PointClass();
        point.PutCoords(0, 0);
        object missing = Type.Missing;

        IPointCollection pointCollection = new MultipointClass();
        //We don't specify the before and after object, so we add missing.
        //This adds the point to the end of the PointCollection
        pointCollection.AddPoint(point, ref missing, ref missing);

        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(pointCollection.PointCount.ToString());
    }
