Determine if a dataset is registered as versioned using the Pro SDK

ujr_esrich — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 13:03:22 GMT

Hi community, I am wondering if there is a way to determine if a table or feaure class in a geodatabase is registered as versioned. With ArcPy, I could use arcpy.Describe("MyDataset").isVersioned (or isTraditionalVersioned or isBranchVersioned). Is there an equivalent in the Pro SDK? I appreciate any hints.

Hi,

Sample from ArcGIS Pro API Reference:

public bool IsTableVersioned(Geodatabase geodatabase, string tableName) { using (Table table = geodatabase.OpenDataset<Table>(tableName)) { // Check table version type RegistrationType registrationType = table.GetRegistrationType(); if (registrationType == RegistrationType.Versioned) { return true; } } return false; }

In addition to @GKmieliauskas, to find a versioning type ( Branch or Traditional), versionManager.GetVersioningType() should be called. Please refer to the Pro conceptual doc.

Hi @GKmieliauskas and @Aashis, thanks a lot, this works fine for me. I must have overlooked Dataset.GetRegistrationType() when I was first looking into this. In my (still limited) experience, dataset.GetRegistrationType() works fine, even if dataset is from a Geodatabase gdb with gdb.IsVersioningSupported() == false; in this case it returns Nonversioned, which makes sense and is convenient.
