Directly edit a file GDB table feature class without reqruing an editing session

ducksunlimited — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 12:29:22 GMT

HI All,

I am developing .NET add-in. One of the tools is going to update a list of codes stored in a table feature class in a file GDB. I don't want the editing to be done in an editing session. Is ArcObjects able to allow directly editing the table without requiring an editing session? if so, how to do it.

Thanks,
Russel

I don't know if it is really relevant and does what you want, but ESRI has a File Geodatabase API that may be of use:

The short answer is yes, but it depends on the environment (Desktop or Engine) and the type of data you are editing.

Google the help documents for Accessing data using cursors

Or this slightly harder to find document

You can directly edit a geodatabase using most of the same calls as you would through an edit session.
The Editing with the geodatabase API help topic discusses the benefits of using an edit session and the cases where you wouldn't.
