IPersistStreamInit interface

A replacement for IPersistStream that adds an initialization method.

This interface is not derived from IPersistStream; it is mutually exclusive with IPersistStream. An object chooses to support only one of the two interfaces, based on whether it requires the InitNew method.

When to implement

Implement this interface on any object that needs to support initialized stream-based persistence, regardless of whatever else the object does. The presence of the InitNew method requires some changes to other methods that are common to IPersistStream, as noted in the documentation for each method.

When to use

Use this interface to initialize a stream-based object and to save that object to a stream.
