Remarks

The GetUniqueName method calls the GetName method. If this method does not return a name, then GetUniqueName uses INameCreationService to fabricate a valid name for the object. If the service is not available, GetUniqueName will fabricate a name based on the short type name combined with an index number to make it unique. The resulting name is associated with the serialization manager by calling the SetName method before the new name is returned.
