Remarks

The IIndexEdit interface is used when creating new indexes. You cannot use IIndexEdit to modify an existing index—to do this, delete and re-create it. IIndexEdit operates in a similar way to IFieldEdit

When changing indexes on a table in a multi-user environment, you should first gain an exclusive schema lock on the table. See the section on ISchemaLock for more details.

[C#]

When using C# (and other .NET languages) you must append an "_2" to the property you want to set on this interface. For example, indexEdit.Name_2 = "NewIndexName".

[Visual Basic .NET]

When using VB.NET (and other .NET languages) you must append an "_2" to the property you want to set on this interface. For example, indexEdit.Name_2 = "NewIndexName".
