I found the solution is there any expert who can help need to be able to apply a filter from Layer and determine the file name that will be saved and know when Geoprocessing has finished processing This is sample from RawMcGee which I found in the discussion protected async Task ConvertShp(string layerpath, string outpath) { if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(outpath)) System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(outpath); var valueArray = await QueuedTask.Run(() => { //input layers list should contain the path of each layer name, i.e. if the root node is "Mapping" and the layer name is "gs_points", path is "Mapping\gs_points". List inlayers = new List(); inlayers.Add(layerpath); //outpath is just the folder to save the shapefiles in return Geoprocessing.MakeValueArray(inlayers, outpath); }); // to let the GP tool run asynchronously without blocking the main thread // use the GPThread option of GPExecuteToolFlasgs // GPExecuteToolFlags flags = GPExecuteToolFlags.GPThread; // instruct the tool run non-blocking GPThread IGPResult gpResult = await Geoprocessing.ExecuteToolAsync("FeatureClassToShapefile_conversion", valueArray, null, null, null, flags); return string.IsNullOrEmpty(gpResult.ReturnValue) ? $@"Error in gp tool: {gpResult.ErrorMessages}" : $@"Ok: {gpResult.ReturnValue}"; }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Thanks
