Remarks

Select will return an ISelectionSet with all of the features that satisfy some attribute and/or spatial query as specified by an IQueryFilter object. If Nothing is given as the IQueryFilter, then the selection will have all of the features from the feature class.

Calling the Select method in IFeatureClass has the same effect as calling the corresponding method in ITable.

When calling Select the selectionContainer parameter is no longer required. Null (C#, VB.Net) or Nothing (VB6) should be supplied in its place.
