ArcGIS.Core.Data Namespace / Table Class / CreateRowBuffer Method / CreateRowBuffer(Subtype) Method
If it is a non-null and valid subtype, a RowBuffer will be created for the specified subtype.
Example

In This Topic
    CreateRowBuffer(Subtype) Method
    In This Topic
    Creates a new row buffer instance in memory. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public RowBuffer CreateRowBuffer( 
       Subtype subtype
    )
    Public Overloads Function CreateRowBuffer( _
       ByVal subtype As Subtype _
    ) As RowBuffer

    Parameters

    subtype
    If it is a non-null and valid subtype, a RowBuffer will be created for the specified subtype.

    Return Value

    A RowBuffer used to set the field values when calling CreateRow.
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    A geodatabase-related exception has occurred.
    Remarks

    No row is created in the database.

    The returned RowBuffer does not have an object ID value.
