ArcGIS Pro 3.3 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Data Namespace / QueryDef Class / SubFields Property
Example

In This Topic
    SubFields Property (QueryDef)
    In This Topic
    Gets or sets a comma (,) delimited string containing the names of fields for which values should be returned by the query.
    Syntax
    public string SubFields {get; set;}
    Public Property SubFields As String
    Remarks

    The default setting for subfields is to request values to be returned for all fields. The strings of "*" or "" can be set to return the query to this default.

    To set the subfields property to request the values to be returned for the "Name" and "Age" fields, a string of "Name, Age" should be provided (white space is optional).

            WhereClause = "EmergencyFacility.FACNAME = FacilitySite.NAME AND EmergencyFacility.JURISDICT = 'Municipal'",
          };
