Get Route Event Layer Source Table Name

BryanBoutz1 — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 15:21:23 GMT

I have a Desktop Add-In built with C# that provides additional UI for working with some route event data. I want to ensure the user interaction between the map layers and the underlying data table stays connected, even if the layer name gets changed. I also want to guaranty that the correct event layer is in the map.

So the question is, given a Route Event Layer, how do I use ArcObjects to access the underlying table? Specifically, how do I get its name in the database?

I figured out the basic technique, now I need to work it up properly for my application.

The steps I figured out:
1. Cast Carto.ILayer object to a Geodatabase.IDataset object.
2. Get the IDataset.FullName, which is an IName object
3. Cast the IName object to Geodatabase.IRouteEventSourceName
4. Get the IRouteEventSourceName.EventTableName, which is an IName object
5. Cast the IName object to an IDatasetName object
6. Retrieve the Name string.

((ESRI.ArcGIS.Geodatabase.IDatasetName)((ESRI.ArcGIS.Geodatabase.IRouteEventSourceName)((ESRI.ArcGIS.Geodatabase.IDataset)layer).FullName).EventTableName)
