ArcGIS Pro 3.3 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Data Namespace / QueryDef Class / WhereClause Property
Example

In This Topic
    WhereClause Property (QueryDef)
    In This Topic
    Gets or sets the where clause used to filter the rows returned.
    Syntax
    public string WhereClause {get; set;}
    Public Property WhereClause As String
    Remarks
    Rows for which the where clause evaluates to True are returned by the filter. Those rows which evaluate to False or Unknown (Null) are not returned.
    Example
    Evaluating a QueryDef on a single table
    public async Task SimpleQueryDef()
    {
      await ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
      {
        using (Geodatabase geodatabase = new Geodatabase(new DatabaseConnectionFile(new Uri("path\\to\\sde\\file"))))
        {
          QueryDef adaCompilantParksQueryDef = new QueryDef
          {
            Tables = "Park",
            WhereClause = "ADACOMPLY = 'Yes'",
          };
    
          using (RowCursor rowCursor = geodatabase.Evaluate(adaCompilantParksQueryDef, false))
          {
            while (rowCursor.MoveNext())
            {
              using (Row row = rowCursor.Current)
              {
                Feature feature = row as Feature;
                Geometry shape = feature.GetShape();
    
                String type = Convert.ToString(row["ADACOMPLY"]); // will be "Yes" for each row.
    
                try
                {
                  Table table = row.GetTable(); // Will always throw exception.
                }
                catch (NotSupportedException exception)
                {
                  // Handle not supported exception.
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      });
    }
    Evaluating a QueryDef on a Join using WHERE Clause
    public async Task JoiningWithWhereQueryDef()
    {
      await ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
      {
        using (Geodatabase geodatabase = new Geodatabase(new DatabaseConnectionFile(new Uri("path\\to\\sde\\file"))))
        {
          QueryDef municipalEmergencyFacilitiesQueryDef = new QueryDef
          {
            SubFields = "EmergencyFacility.OBJECTID, EmergencyFacility.Shape, EmergencyFacility.FACILITYID, FacilitySite.FACILITYID, FacilitySite.FCODE",
            Tables = "EmergencyFacility, FacilitySite",
            WhereClause = "EmergencyFacility.FACNAME = FacilitySite.NAME AND EmergencyFacility.JURISDICT = 'Municipal'",
          };
    
          using (RowCursor rowCursor = geodatabase.Evaluate(municipalEmergencyFacilitiesQueryDef, false))
          {
            while (rowCursor.MoveNext())
            {
              using (Row row = rowCursor.Current)
              {
                Feature feature = row as Feature;
                Geometry shape = feature.GetShape();
    
                long objectID = Convert.ToInt64(row["EmergencyFacility.OBJECTID"]);
                String featureCode = Convert.ToString(row["FacilitySite.FCODE"]);
    
                IReadOnlyList<Field> fields = feature.GetFields(); //Contains one ArcGIS.Core.Data.Field objects for every subfield
              }
            }
          }
        }
      });
    }
