Obtain Feature Dataset name

Question

Original User: threem

I'm new to ESRI products (and GIS in general) and was wondering if there is a way to programatically find the Feature Dataset for an SDC Feature Class layer?

I have been able to retrieve the name of the FeatureClass (e.g. highways_2) using IDataSetName.Name but haven't been able to find an interface that will provide the Feature Dataset name (e.g. highways.sdc)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Mike

Original User: threemIf you cast IDataLayer.Datasourcename to IFeatureclassName, what do you see for IFeatureclassName.FeatureDatasetname ?

That did it.... thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately the code I am looking at is used to update the datasource of an invalid layer.  So the layer's FeatureClass is Nothing.
