ArcGIS Pro 3.0 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Data.Topology Namespace / Topology Class / BuildGraph Method
The area of interest for which a topology graph is built. It must be either ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.GeometryType.Envelope or ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.GeometryType.Polygon.
The client callback that receives a TopologyGraph as input for analysis.
Example

    BuildGraph Method
    In This Topic
    Creates an in-memory representation of the topologically-integrated features within the current topology for a given area. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public void BuildGraph( 
       Geometry extent,
       Action<TopologyGraph> callBack
    )
    Public Sub BuildGraph( _
       ByVal extent As Geometry, _
       ByVal callBack As Action(Of TopologyGraph) _
    ) 

    Parameters

    extent
    The area of interest for which a topology graph is built. It must be either ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.GeometryType.Envelope or ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.GeometryType.Polygon.
    callBack
    The client callback that receives a TopologyGraph as input for analysis.
    Exceptions
    Remarks
    The life time of the TopologyGraph as input for callBack is scoped to that of the client callback itself. Once the flow of execution has returned from the callback, the TopologyGraph object will be disposed. Hence, attempting to use the TopologyGraph outside of this scope will raise a ArcGIS.Core.ObjectDisconnectedException.
