HasGlobalID Method—ArcGIS Pro

HasGlobalID Method

In This Topic

Gets a value indicating whether this table has a field containing GlobalIDs. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public bool HasGlobalID()

Public Function HasGlobalID() As Boolean

Return Value

true if this table has a field containing GlobalIDs; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.NotSupportedException	The definition does not support this operation (e.g., the table is a shapefile).
ArcGIS.Core.Data.Exceptions.GeodatabaseException	A geodatabase-related exception has occurred.

Remarks

A global ID is required to uniquely identify a row between tables. Workflows such as replication require that global IDs are present.

Example

Obtaining List of Defintions from Geodatabase

public async Task ObtainingDefinitionsFromGeodatabase()
{
  await ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
  {
    using (Geodatabase geodatabase = new Geodatabase(new DatabaseConnectionFile(new Uri("path\\to\\sde\\file\\sdefile.sde"))))
    {
      IReadOnlyList<FeatureClassDefinition> enterpriseDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<FeatureClassDefinition>();
      IEnumerable<Definition> featureClassesHavingGlobalID = enterpriseDefinitions.Where(definition => definition.HasGlobalID());

      IReadOnlyList<FeatureDatasetDefinition> featureDatasetDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<FeatureDatasetDefinition>();
      bool electionRelatedFeatureDatasets = featureDatasetDefinitions.Any(definition => definition.GetName().Contains("Election"));

      IReadOnlyList<AttributedRelationshipClassDefinition> attributedRelationshipClassDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<AttributedRelationshipClassDefinition>();

      IReadOnlyList<RelationshipClassDefinition> relationshipClassDefinitions = geodatabase.GetDefinitions<RelationshipClassDefinition>();
    }
  });
}
