ArcGIS.Core.Data Namespace / TableDefinition Class / HasGlobalID Method
Example

In This Topic
    HasGlobalID Method
    In This Topic
    Gets a value indicating whether this table has a field containing GlobalIDs. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public bool HasGlobalID()
    Public Function HasGlobalID() As Boolean

    Return Value

    true if this table has a field containing GlobalIDs; otherwise, false.
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    The definition does not support this operation (e.g., the table is a shapefile).
    A geodatabase-related exception has occurred.
    Remarks
    A global ID is required to uniquely identify a row between tables. Workflows such as replication require that global IDs are present.
    Example
    Obtaining List of Defintions from Geodatabase
    public async Task ObtainingDefinitionsFromGeodatabase()
    {
      await ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
      {
        using (Geodatabase geodatabase = new Geodatabase(new DatabaseConnectionFile(new Uri("path\\to\\sde\\file\\sdefile.sde"))))
        {
          IReadOnlyList<FeatureClassDefinition> enterpriseDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<FeatureClassDefinition>();
          IEnumerable<Definition> featureClassesHavingGlobalID = enterpriseDefinitions.Where(definition => definition.HasGlobalID());
    
          IReadOnlyList<FeatureDatasetDefinition> featureDatasetDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<FeatureDatasetDefinition>();
          bool electionRelatedFeatureDatasets = featureDatasetDefinitions.Any(definition => definition.GetName().Contains("Election"));
    
          IReadOnlyList<AttributedRelationshipClassDefinition> attributedRelationshipClassDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<AttributedRelationshipClassDefinition>();
    
          IReadOnlyList<RelationshipClassDefinition> relationshipClassDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<RelationshipClassDefinition>();
        }
      });
    }
