Create or update a table out of selected geodatabase items?

Question

Hi, I'm trying to create or update a table in a gdb by enabling user to select one or multiple items (eg, feature class, table, ..) from a file geodatabase when a dialog box opens (button addin) in ArcGIS Pro. Therefore, the output table should show feature class or table names, dates, status, username, ... I'm doing this in C# and here's what I have created so far but it throws an error: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using ArcGIS.Core.CIM; using ArcGIS.Core.Data; using ArcGIS.Core.Geometry; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Catalog; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Core; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Extensions; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Contracts; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks; using ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping; namespace Geodatabase_FC2Table { internal class Btn_OpenGDB : Button { protected async override void OnClick() { OpenItemDialog CatalogOpenDialog = new OpenItemDialog() { Title = "Select Geodatabases", MultiSelect = true, Filter = ItemFilters.geodatabaseItems_all }; GeoDatabaseReader geoDbReader = new GeoDatabaseReader(); List<LayerObjectInfo> resultArr = new List<LayerObjectInfo>(); if (CatalogOpenDialog.ShowDialog() == true) { foreach (Item item in CatalogOpenDialog.Items) { List<LayerObjectInfo> aGdbResultArr = await geoDbReader.ReadGeoDataBase(item.Name); resultArr.AddRange(aGdbResultArr); MessageBox.Show(item.Name); } } } } public class GeoDatabaseReader { public async Task<List<LayerObjectInfo>> ReadGeoDataBase(string GeoDataBasePath) { List<LayerObjectInfo> result = new List<LayerObjectInfo>(); await QueuedTask.Run(() => { var path = new Uri(GeoDataBasePath); var gdb = new Geodatabase(new FileGeodatabaseConnectionPath(path)); IReadOnlyList<FeatureClassDefinition> definitions = gdb.GetDefinitions<FeatureClassDefinition>(); foreach (var fdsDef in definitions) { LayerObjectInfo layerObjectInfo = new LayerObjectInfo(); TableDefinition ATableDef = fdsDef as TableDefinition; layerObjectInfo.LayerName = (string.IsNullOrEmpty(ATableDef.GetAliasName())) ?

Hi Steve,

Next step is , add the breakpoint at that line .

And debug it.

When Breakpoint hit.

Open the immediate windows in visual studio Ctrl+Alt+I

Check your geodatabasepath variable in it whether it is valid path or not.
