ArcGIS Pro 3.2 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Data.Realtime Namespace / RealtimeCursor Class / MoveNext Method
Example

In This Topic
    MoveNext Method (RealtimeCursor)
    In This Topic
    Advances to the next RealtimeRow in this RealtimeCursor. This method can be called on any thread.
    Syntax
    public bool MoveNext()
    Public Function MoveNext() As Boolean

    Return Value

    true if the cursor has successfully advanced to the next row; false if the cursor has passed the end of the collection.
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    A geodatabase-related exception has occurred.
    Remarks
    The RealtimeCursor can only advance sequentially forward. To move the cursor back to the beginning, you will have to reexecute the search to obtain a new row cursor.
    Example
    Search And Subscribe for Streaming Data
    await QueuedTask.Run(async () =>
    {
      //query filter can be null to search and retrieve all rows
      //true means recycling cursor
      using (var rc = streamLayer.SearchAndSubscribe(qfilter, true))
      {
        //waiting for new features to be streamed
        //default is no cancellation
        while (await rc.WaitForRowsAsync())
        {
          while (rc.MoveNext())
          {
            using (var row = rc.Current)
            {
              //determine the origin of the row event
              switch (row.GetRowSource())
              {
                case RealtimeRowSource.PreExisting:
                  //pre-existing row at the time of subscribe
                  continue;
                case RealtimeRowSource.EventInsert:
                  //row was inserted after subscribe
                  continue;
                case RealtimeRowSource.EventDelete:
                  //row was deleted after subscribe
                  continue;
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }//row cursor is disposed. row cursor is unsubscribed
    
      //....or....
      //Use the feature class instead of the layer
      using (var rfc = streamLayer.GetFeatureClass())
      {
        //non-recycling cursor - 2nd param "false"
        using (var rc = rfc.SearchAndSubscribe(qfilter, false))
        {
          //waiting for new features to be streamed
          //default is no cancellation
          while (await rc.WaitForRowsAsync())

    });
    Search And Subscribe With Cancellation
    await QueuedTask.Run(async () =>
    {
      //Recycling cursor - 2nd param "true"
      //or streamLayer.Subscribe(qfilter, true) to just subscribe
      using (var rc = streamLayer.SearchAndSubscribe(qfilter, true))
      {
        //auto-cancel after 20 seconds
        var cancel = new CancellationTokenSource(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 20));
        //catch TaskCanceledException

          }
        }
        catch (TaskCanceledException )
        {
          //Handle cancellation as needed
        }
        cancel.Dispose();
      }
    });
    Explicitly Cancel WaitForRowsAsync
    //somewhere in our code we create a CancellationTokenSource
    var cancel = new CancellationTokenSource();
    //...
    
    //call cancel on the CancellationTokenSource anywhere in
    //the add-in, assuming the CancellationTokenSource is in scope
    if (SomeConditionForCancel)
      cancel.Cancel();//<-- will cancel the token
    
    //Within QueuedTask we are subscribed! streamLayer.Subscribe() or SearchAndSubscribe()
    try
    {
      //TaskCanceledException will be thrown when the token is cancelled
      while (await rc.WaitForRowsAsync(cancel.Token))
      {

    Subscribe to Streaming Data
