ArcGIS Pro SDK: Create and add new standalone table

BobTaylor — Mon, 13 Jan 2020 14:27:08 GMT

Hi, I'm using ArcGIS Pro SDK in Visual Studio 2019. I am able to get a list of selected standalone tables using the MapView.Active.GetSelectedStandaloneTables() but i would also like to create and add new standalone tables to ArcGIS Pro. How would i go about doing that using the SDK? Thanks for your help - Bob

The ArcGIS.Core.Data API is a DML-only (Data Manipulation Language) API. This means that all schema creation and modification operations such as creating tables and feature classes, creating and modifying fields, enabling attachments, and so on, need to be performed using the Geoprocessing API. The specific geo processing tool you need to create a table is: management.CreateTable. If you don't want to use a template table to create the required fields you have to add the fields after the create table geoprocessing tool is finished. Here is an example showing how to add or delete fields to an existing table: https://github.com/esri/arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples/tree/master/Geodatabase/AddDeleteFieldToFromFeatureClass

Is this just for Python or is there a C# example?

Hi Bob,

It's buried in a utility network sample, but check out this C# file: arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples/CategoriesComboBox.cs at master · Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples · GitHub

Starting at line 192 is some code to create a table in the geodatabase using the geoprocessing APIs.
Starting at line 282, the code shows how to create a `StandaloneTable` from a geodatabase table.
Starting at line 292, the code shows how to open a table view of that standalone table.

I hope this helps some. We are actively working on adding some simple DDL operations directly in the Pro C# SDK for a future release.

FYI: We are also working on adding c# usage and examples to the ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tools documentation (in addition to the python documentation we have right now) for one of the upcoming releases (post 2.5).

The ArcGIS Pro SDK now includes DDL operations, you can find several examples in the Geodatabase section of the ArcGIS Pro SDK Community Samples GitHub.
