Get Map Layername from geometry in Sketch using C# .Net

Question

Hi,

I am a total newbie at ArcGIS Pro SDK . (and C#, ESRI [pretty much])

(How) Is it possible to get the layername that the geometry in the Sketch buffer belongs to?

I have a fileGDB with 21 layers and for every (any) geometry that the user edits or adds (as a new geometry item), I want to auto update a specific Attribute Field for that Geometry item.

Thanks in advance,

Zoltan

no.

note - layers, as a term, relates to the content of the map (and are shown in the map table of contents). feature classes (or, somewhat, more generically, feature datasets) relates to the content in a GDB. A (feature) layer contains a feature class, sometimes called its "data source".

A _feature_, which is a row containing a geometry within a feature class, is "the" link u want to go from a geometry to a feature class (in your GDB). Typically, features are retrieved through selections (i.e. whatever it is that is _selected_ on the map - and will be highlighted in blue).

OK - Methinks I've found a better way thanks to:

https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-sdk-questions/arcgis-pro-sdk-2-9-x-order-rowchangedevent/m-p/1253235#M9376

I'll just lookout for RowChangedEvent and RowCreatedEvent (on all 21 FCs in these GDBs)

Apologies for taking up bandwidth here, but hopefully some lurkers have benefitted from this thread.
