);

This method can return the standard return values E_INVALIDARG, E_OUTOFMEMORY, E_UNEXPECTED, E_FAIL, and S_OK.

Remarks

This method retrieves a top-level collection, such as the Applications collection, from the COM+ catalog. For related collections that are not top-level collections, such as Components, use the GetCollection method available from the parent collection.

The catalog collection retrieved by GetCollection does not contain data from the catalog for items contained within the collection. Use the Populate method to read in data for items in the collection.
