ArcGIS.Core.Data Namespace / JoinDescription Class / TargetFields Property
Example Version

    TargetFields Property
    Gets or sets the fields from the left table which have to be included during the join operation.
    Syntax
    public IReadOnlyList<Field> TargetFields {get; set;}
    Remarks
    Note that if the join is Backward, the target fields are from the right table.
    Example
    Joining two tables from different geodatabases
    public async Task JoinTablesFromDifferentGeodatabases()
    {
      await ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
      {
        using (Geodatabase sourceGeodatabase = new Geodatabase(new FileGeodatabaseConnectionPath(new Uri("Path \\ to \\Geodatabase \\ one"))))
        using (Geodatabase destinationGeodatabase = new Geodatabase(new FileGeodatabaseConnectionPath(new Uri("Path \\ to \\Geodatabase \\ two"))))
        using (Table sourceTable = sourceGeodatabase.OpenDataset<Table>("State"))
        using (Table destinationTable = destinationGeodatabase.OpenDataset<Table>("Cities"))
        {
          Field primaryKeyField = sourceTable.GetDefinition().GetFields().FirstOrDefault(field => field.Name.Equals("State.State_Abbreviation"));
          Field foreignKeyField = destinationTable.GetDefinition().GetFields().FirstOrDefault(field => field.Name.Equals("Cities.State"));
    
          VirtualRelationshipClassDescription virtualRelationshipClassDescription = new VirtualRelationshipClassDescription(primaryKeyField, foreignKeyField, RelationshipCardinality.OneToMany);
    
          using (RelationshipClass relationshipClass = sourceTable.RelateTo(destinationTable, virtualRelationshipClassDescription))
          {
            JoinDescription joinDescription = new JoinDescription(relationshipClass)
            {
              JoinDirection = JoinDirection.Forward,
              JoinType = JoinType.InnerJoin,
              TargetFields = sourceTable.GetDefinition().GetFields()
            };
    
            using (Join join = new Join(joinDescription))
            {
              Table joinedTable = join.GetJoinedTable();
    
              //Process the joined table. For example ..
              using (RowCursor cursor = joinedTable.Search())
              {
                while (cursor.MoveNext())
                {
                  using (Row row = cursor.Current)
                  {
                    // Use Row
                  }
                }
              }
            }
