ArcGIS Pro 3.1 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Data Namespace / Table Class / CreateRowBuffer Method / CreateRowBuffer(Subtype) Method
If it is a non-null and valid subtype, a RowBuffer will be created for the specified subtype.
Example Version

CreateRowBuffer(Subtype) Method
Creates a new row buffer instance in memory. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
Syntax
public RowBuffer CreateRowBuffer( 
   Subtype subtype
)

Parameters

subtype
If it is a non-null and valid subtype, a RowBuffer will be created for the specified subtype.

Return Value

A 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.
