Get FileGDB name(s) of MapView.Active.GetSelectedLayers()

Zoltan_Szecsei — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 08:05:46 GMT

Hi,

I am using OnMapSelectionChangedEvent() to trap when a user clicks in the TOC.

How can I get the FileGDB (or SHP, or Raster image etc) name from the clicked Map item?

Yes, I have to filter out Group names etc from the Selected Layers.

Thanks in advance,

Zoltan

Within a QueuedTask, you can get the data connection from the feature layer, then look at its workspace connection string. It'll have a value like "DATABASE=path_to_database.gdb" or "DATABASE=path_to_folder" in the case of a file system raster.

await QueuedTask.Run(() => { var layerConnection = featureLayer.GetDataConnection() as CIMStandardDataConnection; var workspaceConnectionString = layerConnection.WorkspaceConnectionString; });

Hi Stephen,

Megathanks - I'll give this a try tomorrow.
