Thanks, Charles!  I am just about to get my new add-in into the 'testing by others' phase. ... View more

I am wondering if my question was overlooked.  @CharlesMacleod @UmaHarano @Wolf  I have looked at post like this one https://stackoverflow.com/questions/534261/how-do-you-keep-user-config-settings-across-different-assembly-versions-in-net , but I don't find anything related to the directive "Be sure to set it's Roaming property to True also."    ...

Same problem, but with accessing a Query Feature Class with SQL Server.  I wrote the code using v3.2 against a feature class in a file geodatabase for quicker testing and that worked fine.  When I tried to move to production I got this same error with Table.GetDefintion(). ArcGIS.Core.Data.Exceptions.GeodatabaseGeneralException: The operation is not supported by this implementation. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040203): A syntax error occurred trying to evaluate a query string (0x80040203) at ArcGIS.Core.Internal.IDatasetIOP.Dataset_GetDefinition(IntPtr datasetHandle) at ArcGIS.Core.Data.Dataset.GetDefinitionHandle() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at ArcGIS.Core.Data.Dataset.GetDefinitionHandle() at ArcGIS.Core.Data.FeatureClass.CreateDefinition() at ArcGIS.Core.Data.Table.GetDefinition() ...

@Wolf  It appears that you cannot even select features in a KML layer, much less create a layer from a selection.  Perhaps there is an intention to add these functionalities in the future. ... View more

Thanks, Wolf.  This does appear to work.   Since I may have to maintain the code for my application in the future, I would like to fully understand what is going on here. It seems to me that the underlying idea is that if a feature layer was created using "Make Layer From Selected Features" it's table will have a DefinitionSetURI.  Otherwise it won't.  Let me know if I am off the mark.   There isn't much about the DefintionSetURI property in the API documentation (or elsewhere): https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/sdk/api-reference/topic16838.html This is an example: CIMPATH=ObjectIdentifierSet/c940ab464ae672ac39402d5a13034ab1.dat Looks like there is a data file somewhere.  I couldn't find it on my C drive.  Maybe it is in volatile memory?  I am also wondering why you specifically check CIMKMLLayer and return null.  It seems to me that it would return null at line 31 of your code if you didn't include that. else if (baseLayer is CIMKMLLayer kmlLayer) return (null);   ...

Sorry to take so long to respond, @Wolf .  I think I kind of get the general idea here of what you are doing, but the call to GetDefintionSetURI does not work for me.  That method does not appear to be in the API documentation: https://pro.arcgis.com/search/?collection=help&product=arcgis-pro-net&version=pro3.2&language=en&q=GetDefinitionSetURI Is it a method that you created as part of your solution? ...

I have looked this over more carefully now and have worked around this as much as I think I need to.  I am just using it to get a unique list of values, so in case anyone else is trying to do that or anyone has any further insights that they would be able to share, this is what I have concluded so far:   It is not surprising that I was unable to use Rich Ruh’s code snippet with XY Event Layers since in the Pro GUI you cannot run the “Summarize Statistics'' tool on fields in these layers.  You get an error message about there being no OID field.    You can run the “Summarize Statistics” tool on a field in a layer with a joined table.  However, for using the code snippet, FeatureClass.GetDefinition() and Table.GetDefinition() are expected to throw an exception if called when there is a table join.  This can be found in the API documentation here:    https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/3.2/api-reference/topic7713.html   https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/sdk/api-reference/topic7014.html   So it seems that this is a known limitation and there is a reasonable sounding explanation provided for it, but since “Summarize Statistics” can be done through the Pro GUI when there is a joined table, it is surprising that we cannot do this using the SDK too.    To be clear, in my code, I start with a BasicFeatureLayer, get a Table from it with GetTable() and then use Table.GetDefinition().   The thing that initially confused me was that Table.GetDefinition() didn’t throw an exception when the data source of the BasicFeatureLayer was a FGDB feature class and it was joined with a table within that same FGDB.   For now, I want to allow users the opportunity to use my addin in the above mentioned FGDB joined table case (or any case that Table.GetDefinition() happens to work), so I decided to do something like this at the beginning when getting the TableDefinition: Table table = myBasicFeatureLayer.GetTable(); TableDefinition tableDefinition; try { tableDefinition = table.GetDefinition(); } catch (Exception e) { if (table.IsJoinedTable()) { ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show("Won't work with join…"); } else { MessageBox.Show("Please contact GIS staff…" + e.ToString()); } return; }   ...

Does this idea cover what you are wanting, @BrettFrahm ?: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas/an-action-on-the-list-widget-to-open-the-popup-on/idi-p/1098259   ... View more

Thanks @RichRuh .  It has been a while since I looked at this (was interrupted by other priorities).  I will probably contact tech support as you suggest. ... View more

@RichRuh @KoryKramer @ColinZwicker  Repeating this question and tagging you guys in case you didn't see it before. Did Esri ever provide a more obvious way to do this in the API, Rich?  I am running into some issues with this not working so well, for example, with type CIMXYEventDataConnection and when CIMSqlQueryDataConnection becomes CIMRelQueryTableDataConnection via joining to a local table (it does work with a join when the data are all in the file geodatabase). ...

I think this idea just makes a lot of sense! ... View more
