Get dataset names

YinghongLi1 — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 15:22:45 GMT

I can get layer name from active map. Now i need to get database name. I can get datastore from a basic feature layer object and then get database from the datastore. I need to get dataset names not table names.

Please help.

thanks

What do you mean by "database name"? File and mobile geodatabases have a path, feature service geodatabases have a service URL, and enterprise geodatabases have a collection of connection properties. What is it you are looking for?

Rich's question notwithstanding and assuming it is the names of the datasets within a gdb u are after, this snippet might help:

https://github.com/esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProSnippets-Geodatabase#obtaining-list-of-defintions-from-geodatabase

note the line in question: Call "GetName()" on each definition to get the dataset name.

IReadOnlyList<FeatureDatasetDefinition> featureDatasetDefinitions = 
                             geodatabase.GetDefinitions<FeatureDatasetDefinition>();

It is an Oracle SDE database. Sorry I was not clear. I will try the code CarlesMacleod displayed below and see how it goes.

In our SDE database, we have many datasets. I want to be able to list the dataset names and allow user to select ONE dataset and loop through the feature layers in it.

Thank you all!
