If the method succeeds, it returns S_OK. If it fails, it returns an error code.

The method takes the signature for the method, namespace, type, field, property or event and returns an identifier. You can use this identifier later to retrieve the member's XML. The identifier remains valid throughout the lifetime of this member index object, even if the XML source file changes.
