Remarks
PropertySet is a generic class that is used to hold a set of properties for anything. One example for the use of a property set is to hold the properties required for opening up an SDE workspace as is shown in the example code.
Typically a property set can be thought of as a set of keys (strings) and values (variants/objects). One notable exception to this is when using the IPropertySet interface on an XmlPropertySet object. An XML document can contain multiple elements with the same name (i.e. "property/child") and different values. Because of this, the values returned by this interface from an XmlPropertySet may be jagged two-dimensional arrays (arrays containing other arrays). See the XmlPropertySet coclass' documentation in the Geodatabase library for more details and code examples.
