How to cast in opening an ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.RouteMeasureLineLocationClass?

ShaningYu — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:43:27 GMT

I want to open an ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.RouteMeasureLineClass from a GeoDB. From
http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisengine/arcobjects/esriLocation/Location_overview.htm
I got Open LocalLocatorWorkspace. Then I used the code below:
        public ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.RouteMeasureLineLocationClass GetRouteMeasureClass(ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.IDatabaseLocatorWorkspace ws, string fName)
        {
            IFeatureWorkspace fWs = (IFeatureWorkspace)ws;
            return (ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.RouteMeasureLineLocationClass)(fWs.OpenFeatureClass(fName));
        }
But got error: Cannot implicitly convert type 'ESRI.ArcGIS.Geodatabase.IFeatureClass' to 'ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.RouteMeasureLineLocationClass'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)
How can a proper casting be applied? Thanks.

Revised the code as:
        public ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.RouteMeasureLineLocationClass GetRouteMeasureClass(ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.IDatabaseLocatorWorkspace ws, string fName) {
            IFeatureWorkspace fWs = (IFeatureWorkspace)ws;
            ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.RouteMeasureLineLocationClass fcLoc = (ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.RouteMeasureLineLocationClass)(fWs.OpenFeatureClass(fName));
            return (ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.RouteMeasureLineLocationClass)(fWs.OpenFeatureClass(fName));
        }
Got The runtime error at the Line: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.IRouteLocation'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{354B908D-3BBA-11D4-9FCC-00C04F6BDF06}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

Through intensive search, found that the ESRI.ArcGIS.Location.RouteMeasureLineLocationClass can't be opened directly. Since I have adapted an alternative approach to target my goal, this thread is to be closed.
