Operation not allowed while the version is being reconciled.

Remarks

An edit session may be started using the StartEditing method. The withUndoRedo parameter can be used to suppress undo/redo logging if the workspace supports such suppression. Note that Undo/Redo logging is not supported for remote database workspaces.  StartEditing cannot be called when a edit session is already active.  StopEditing must be called first before a new edit session can be started.

Note:  With non-versioned editing always be sure to check the current EditState via ::IsBeingEdited before called StartEditing or StopEditing.  If the workspace is being edited outside your context, there is no need to call ::StartEditing.
