In This Topic
    CreateInsertCursor Method
    In This Topic
    Creates an InsertCursor instance in memory. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public InsertCursor CreateInsertCursor()
    Public Function CreateInsertCursor() As InsertCursor

    Return Value

    A InsertCursor used to quickly insert rows.
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    A geodatabase-related exception has occurred.
    Remarks
    When used in an ArcGIS Pro add-in, insert cursors should be used within an edit operation callback. For stand-alone CoreHost applications, calls to this method (and use of the insert cursor) should be enclosed within a call to Geodatabase.ApplyEdits.
    Example
    Using an Insert Cursor
    // Insert Cursors are intended for use in CoreHost applications, not Pro Add-ins
    public void UsingInsertCursor()
    {
      using (Geodatabase geodatabase = new Geodatabase(new DatabaseConnectionFile(new Uri("path\\to\\sde\\file"))))
      using (Table citiesTable = geodatabase.OpenDataset<Table>("name\\of\\cities_table"))
      {
        geodatabase.ApplyEdits(() =>
        {
          using (InsertCursor insertCursor = citiesTable.CreateInsertCursor())
          using (RowBuffer rowBuffer = citiesTable.CreateRowBuffer())
          {
            rowBuffer["State"] = "Colorado";
    
            rowBuffer["Name"] = "Fort Collins";
            rowBuffer["Population"] = 167830;
            insertCursor.Insert(rowBuffer);
    
            rowBuffer["Name"] = "Denver";
            rowBuffer["Population"] = 727211;
            insertCursor.Insert(rowBuffer);
    
            // Insert more rows here
            // A more realistic example would be reading source data from a file
    
            insertCursor.Flush();
          }
        });
      }
    }
