ObjectType

Type	Description
ObjectType	An object which is the first persistent object which matches the specified criteria. null (Nothing in Visual Basic) if there is no persistent object which matches the criteria.

Remarks

To find the specified object, this method invokes a public virtual FindObject method that does nothing and returns null. So, the details on how the objects are searched depend on how the FindObject virtual method is overridden in a particular descendant of the BaseObjectSpace class.
