CreateRow(RowBuffer) Method
Example 

ArcGIS.Core.Data.Mapping Namespace > AnnotationFeatureClass Class : CreateRow(RowBuffer) Method
An ArcGIS.Core.Data.RowBuffer with the field values to be set for the new feature.
Creates a new annotation feature in the feature class with a system assigned object ID. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
Syntax
public new AnnotationFeature CreateRow( 
   RowBuffer featureBuffer
)
Public Shadows Function CreateRow( _
   ByVal featureBuffer As RowBuffer _
) As AnnotationFeature

Parameters

featureBuffer
An ArcGIS.Core.Data.RowBuffer with the field values to be set for the new feature.

Return Value

A populated AnnotationFeature.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
featureBuffer is null.
A geodatabase-related exception has occurred.
