Query task- What is best way to display field aliases in feature data grid

RahulMetangale1 — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 10:26:00 GMT

Hi All,

I want to know how to bind the field aliases to feature data grid while displaying the result of query task.

Requirement: Display the result of query task in feature data grid with data grid headers as field aliases.

Current approach:
I am looping through all graphics/features and adding alias name and its value to feature attributes. I see that featureSet has a FieldAliases property but featureSet.features are bound to datagrid not the whole feature set.

If anyone has any suggestions please share it with me.

Thanks,
Rahul

Hey,

Did you try adding the aliases to the feature class in the mxd before you published it?

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your reply.

Aliases are present in the mxd. My issue is if I have to show the aliases in feature datagrid I have to loop through the graphic and have add additional key value pair-alias (key) and its value. Since I have to loop and add this to individual graphic process takes some time. I am looking for better way to achieve this.

Did you ever find a way to accomplish this task? I am attempting to accomplish a similar task of returning alias names in a query especially when I have a join within the map document.
