IADsCollection

The IADsCollection interface allows you to manage an arbitrary set of named data elements. Collections differ from arrays of elements in that individual items can be added or deleted without reordering the entire array.

Collection objects can represent one or more items that correspond persistent data, such as physical objects in the directory. All elements in a collection must be of the same type.

ADSI also exposes the IADsMembers and IADsContainer interfaces for manipulating two special cases of collection objects. IADsMembers is used for a collection of objects that share a common membership. An example of such objects are users that belong to a group. IADsContainer applies to a directory object that contains other objects. An example of this is a directory tree.
