In This Topic
    GetFeatureClass Method (StreamLayer)
    In This Topic
    Returns the underlying FeatureClass. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public new RealtimeFeatureClass GetFeatureClass()
    Public Shadows Function GetFeatureClass() As RealtimeFeatureClass

    Return Value

    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
    Example
    Delete all current and previous observations
    //Must be on QueuedTask!
    //Must be called on the feature class
    using (var rfc = streamLayer.GetFeatureClass())
      rfc.Truncate();
    
    Search And Subscribe for Streaming Data
    await QueuedTask.Run(async () =>
    {
      //query filter can be null to search and retrieve all rows
      //true means recycling cursor
      using (var rc = streamLayer.SearchAndSubscribe(qfilter, true))
      {
        //waiting for new features to be streamed
        //default is no cancellation
        while (await rc.WaitForRowsAsync())
        {
          while (rc.MoveNext())
          {
            using (var row = rc.Current)
            {
              //determine the origin of the row event
              switch (row.GetRowSource())
              {
                case RealtimeRowSource.PreExisting:
                  //pre-existing row at the time of subscribe
                  continue;
                case RealtimeRowSource.EventInsert:
                  //row was inserted after subscribe
                  continue;
                case RealtimeRowSource.EventDelete:
                  //row was deleted after subscribe
                  continue;
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }//row cursor is disposed. row cursor is unsubscribed
    
      //....or....
      //Use the feature class instead of the layer
      using (var rfc = streamLayer.GetFeatureClass())
      {
        //non-recycling cursor - 2nd param "false"
        using (var rc = rfc.SearchAndSubscribe(qfilter, false))
        {
          //waiting for new features to be streamed
          //default is no cancellation
          while (await rc.WaitForRowsAsync())
          {
            //etc
          }
        }
      }
    });
    Search And Subscribe With Cancellation
    await QueuedTask.Run(async () =>
    {
      //Recycling cursor - 2nd param "true"
      //or streamLayer.Subscribe(qfilter, true) to just subscribe
      using (var rc = streamLayer.SearchAndSubscribe(qfilter, true))
      {
        //auto-cancel after 20 seconds
        var cancel = new CancellationTokenSource(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 20));
        //catch TaskCanceledException
        try
        {
          while (await rc.WaitForRowsAsync(cancel.Token))
          {
            //check for row events
            while (rc.MoveNext())
            {
              using (var row = rc.Current)
              {
                //etc
              }
            }
          }
        }
        catch (TaskCanceledException )
        {
          //Handle cancellation as needed
        }
        cancel.Dispose();
      }
    });
    Check the Realtime Feature Class is Track Aware
    using (var rfc = streamLayer.GetFeatureClass())
    using (var rfc_def = rfc.GetDefinition())
    {
      if (rfc_def.HasTrackIDField())
      {
        //Track aware
      }
    }
    
    Get the Track Id Field from the Realtime Feature class
    //Must be on QueuedTask
    using (var rfc = streamLayer.GetFeatureClass())
    using (var rfc_def = rfc.GetDefinition())
    {
      if (rfc_def.HasTrackIDField())
      {
        var fld_name = rfc_def.GetTrackIDField();
    
      }
    }
