CreateRowBuffer() Method
Example 

ArcGIS.Core.Data Namespace > Table Class > CreateRowBuffer Method : CreateRowBuffer() Method
Creates a new row buffer instance in memory. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
Syntax
public RowBuffer CreateRowBuffer()
Public Overloads Function CreateRowBuffer() As RowBuffer

Return Value

An RowBuffer used to set the field values when calling CreateRow.
Exceptions
ExceptionDescription
A geodatabase-related exception has occurred.
Remarks

No row is created in the database.

The returned RowBuffer does not have an object ID value.
