Remarks
The Copy, Delete, and Rename methods, as in ArcCatalog, are not available in all circumstances. For example, you may not delete a network feature class nor can you use the Copy method on a Geodatabase feature class. To copy Geodatabase datasets, including feature classes, geometric networks, topologies, etc, use the IGeoDBDataTransfer interface. You should normally use the CanCopy, CanDelete, and CanRename properties in conjunction with these methods.
