Return Value
A geometry
For Internal Use Only:
In some geodatabase operations it may make sense for a geometry to be set to be recycling for performance or internal resource allocation reasons. In this scenario the geometry's content may change via some external code (i.e. GDB NextFeature). Consequently, the Clone method will return a new geometry with the copied contents of this instance rather than the original object. This cloned geometry should be passed to the code requiring the geometry object.
// Use a builder convenience method or use a builder constructor. // Builder convenience methods don't need to run on the MCT. // create a 3d point with M MapPoint pt = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0); MapPoint ptWithM = null; // Builder constructors need to run on the MCT. ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() => { using (MapPointBuilder mb = new MapPointBuilder(1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0)) { // do something with the builder ptWithM = mb.ToGeometry(); } }); MapPoint clone = ptWithM.Clone() as MapPoint; MapPoint anotherM = MapPointBuilder.CreateMapPoint(ptWithM); // builderEx constructors don't need to run on the MCT. MapPointBuilderEx builderEx = new MapPointBuilderEx(1.0, 2.0, 3.0); builderEx.HasM = true; builderEx.M = 4.0; pt = builderEx.ToGeometry() as MapPoint; // or another alternative with builderEx constructor builderEx = new MapPointBuilderEx(1.0, 2.0, true, 3.0, true, 4.0, false, 0); pt = builderEx.ToGeometry() as MapPoint;
