ArcGIS.Core.Data Namespace / Table Class / IsControllerDatasetSupported Method
Example

In This Topic
    IsControllerDatasetSupported Method
    In This Topic
    Gets a value indicating whether this Table supports the concept of controller datasets. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public bool IsControllerDatasetSupported()
    Public Function IsControllerDatasetSupported() As Boolean

    Return Value

    true if this table supports controller datasets; otherwise, false. Supporting controller datasets does not necessarily mean that a controller dataset exists, just that the GetControllerDatasets method can be called without fear that it will throw an exception.
    Example
    Get parcel fabric from table
    public static ParcelFabric GetParcelFabricFromTable(Table table)
    {
      ParcelFabric myParcelFabricDataset = null;
      if (table.IsControllerDatasetSupported())
      {
        // Tables can belong to multiple controller datasets, but at most one of them will be a parcel fabric
    
        IReadOnlyList<Dataset> controllerDatasets = table.GetControllerDatasets();
        foreach (Dataset controllerDataset in controllerDatasets)
        {
          if (controllerDataset is ParcelFabric)
          {
            myParcelFabricDataset = controllerDataset as ParcelFabric;
          }
          else
          {
            controllerDataset.Dispose();
          }
        }
      }
      return myParcelFabricDataset;
    }
    Get a Utility Network from a Table
    public static UtilityNetwork GetUtilityNetworkFromTable(Table table)
    {
      UtilityNetwork utilityNetwork = null;
    
      if (table.IsControllerDatasetSupported())
      {
        // Tables can belong to multiple controller datasets, but at most one of them will be a UtilityNetwork
        IReadOnlyList<Dataset> controllerDatasets = table.GetControllerDatasets();
    
        foreach (Dataset controllerDataset in controllerDatasets)
        {
          if (controllerDataset is UtilityNetwork)
          {
            utilityNetwork = controllerDataset as UtilityNetwork;
          }
          else
          {
            controllerDataset.Dispose();
          }
        }
      }
      return utilityNetwork;
    }
    Get a Utility Network from a Layer
    // This routine obtains a utility network from a FeatureLayer, SubtypeGroupLayer, or UtilityNetworkLayer
    public static UtilityNetwork GetUtilityNetworkFromLayer(Layer layer)
    {
      UtilityNetwork utilityNetwork = null;
    
      if (layer is UtilityNetworkLayer)
      {
        UtilityNetworkLayer utilityNetworkLayer = layer as UtilityNetworkLayer;
        utilityNetwork = utilityNetworkLayer.GetUtilityNetwork();
      }
    
      else if (layer is SubtypeGroupLayer)
      {
        CompositeLayer compositeLayer = layer as CompositeLayer;
        utilityNetwork = GetUtilityNetworkFromLayer(compositeLayer.Layers.First());
      }
    
      else if (layer is FeatureLayer)
      {
        FeatureLayer featureLayer = layer as FeatureLayer;
        using (FeatureClass featureClass = featureLayer.GetFeatureClass())
        {
          if (featureClass.IsControllerDatasetSupported())
          {
            IReadOnlyList<Dataset> controllerDatasets = new List<Dataset>();
            controllerDatasets = featureClass.GetControllerDatasets();
            foreach (Dataset controllerDataset in controllerDatasets)
            {
              if (controllerDataset is UtilityNetwork)
              {
                utilityNetwork = controllerDataset as UtilityNetwork;
              }
              else
              {
                controllerDataset.Dispose();
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
      return utilityNetwork;
    }
