Remarks
A WorkspaceFactory is a dispenser of workspaces and allows a client to connect to a workspace specified by a set of connection properties. A Workspace is a container of spatial and nonspatial datasets such as feature classes, raster datasets, and toolboxes. It provides methods to instantiate existing datasets and to create new datasets.
Workspaces are classified by types through the esriWorkspaceType enumerator: esriFileSystemWorkspace, esriLocalDatabaseWorkspace, and esriRemoteDatabaseWorkspace.A toolbox workspace can be one of these three types, in other words, toolboxes can exist in a folder, a personal geodatabase, a file geodatabase, or an enterprise geodatabase.
