Adding an Object to a Collection

  • Article

The following code adds a new policy to the IAS policies collection. The variable pClientsCollection points to an ISdoCollection interface for the collection. See Retrieving a Collection for information on how to retrieve the collection object.

   HRESULT hr;
   _bstr_t      bstrClientName = L"Test Client";
   VARIANT_BOOL vbNameUnique = VARIANT_FALSE;

   //
   // Check if the new client's name is unique
   //

   hr = pClientsCollection->IsNameUnique(bstrClientName, &vbNameUnique);
   if (FAILED(hr))
   {
      return hr;
   }

   if (VARIANT_FALSE == vbNameUnique)
   {
      //
      // The name is not unique. Handle the error
      //
      return E_FAIL;
   }

   //
   // Name is unique. Add the client.
   //
   CComPtr<IDispatch> pClientDispatch;
   pClientDispatch.p = NULL;
   hr = pClientsCollection->Add(bstrClientName, &pClientDispatch);
   if (FAILED(hr))
   {
      return hr;
   }

   CComPtr<ISdo> pClientSDO;
   hr = pClientDispatch->QueryInterface(
      __uuidof(ISdo),
      (void**) &pClientSDO
   );
   if (FAILED(hr))
   {
      return hr;
   }

   //
   // Set the address for the client
   //
   _variant_t  vtClientAddress = L"127.0.0.1";
   hr = pClientSDO->PutProperty(PROPERTY_CLIENT_ADDRESS, &vtClientAddress);
   if (FAILED(hr))
   {
      return hr;

   hr = pClientSDO->PutProperty(PROPERTY_CLIENT_SHARED_SECRET, &vtClientSecret);
   if (FAILED(hr))
   {
      return hr;
