Geometry field name?

GregRieck

Hello,

Is the field that stores the "esriFieldTypeGeometry" required to be named "SHAPE"? What are the implications of changing it to something else? I know I can do it, see image.

From what I've tested it seems that the IFEATURE.SHAPE won't have the attributes of the shape unless I specifically cast it.
I'm still able to create objects with a geometry field with a name other than "SHAPE".

  IFeature myFeat = obj as IFeature;
  myFeat.Shape = myFeat.get_Value(myFeat.Fields.FindField("MY_SHAPE_FIELD_NAME")) as IPolygon;

What are the other potential issues with not defining the GEOMETRY field name as "SHAPE"?
