Remarks

The GetGlobalObjects method returns a GlobalObjectCollection of all the currently available instances of the GlobalObject class. This collection is created each time this method is called. When the method is called, the method synchronizes the collection with the set of global object providers.

GetGlobalObjects never returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic); if there are no currently available global objects, this method returns an empty collection. This version of the method is equivalent to the call GetGlobalObjects(null).
