Remarks

The WorkspaceType property of a WorkspaceFactory returns information on the type of workspace managed by the WorkspaceFactory. Workspaces are classified into the following types specified by the esriWorkspaceType enumeration; FileSystemWorkspace, LocalDatabaseWorkspace, and RemoteDatabaseWorkspace.
See esriWorkspaceType for information on the types of workspaces.
Shapefiles and ArcInfo workspaces are examples of FileSystemWorkspace. A Personal Geodatabase stored in Access or a File Geodatabase is an example of a LocalDatabaseWorkspace . An ArcSDE Geodatabase stored in an RDBMS such as Oracle, DB2, SqlServer, or Informix and accessed via ArcSDE is an example of a RemoteDatabaseWorkspace.
