List Fields using IWorkspace

DaveCouture — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 16:23:57 GMT

I'm trying to access a Feature Class in a GDB and list its Field Names. The FC is not in the TOC/ActiveView, I want to access it directly. This is what I have so far:

Public Sub ListFields()

        Dim fieldList As String = ""
        Dim pFact As IWorkspaceFactory = New AccessWorkspaceFactory
        Dim pWorkspace As IWorkspace = pFact.OpenFromFile("G:\Data\GDB\Production.gdb", 0)
        Dim pFeatureWorkSpace As IFeatureWorkspace = pWorkspace
        Dim pFeatureClass As IFeatureClass = pFeatureWorkSpace.OpenFeatureClass("LandSea")
        Dim fields As IFields = pFeatureClass.Fields
        Dim field As IField = Nothing

        For i As Integer = 0 To fields.FieldCount - 1
            field = fields.Field(i)
            fieldList = fieldList + field.Name + vbNewLine
        Next i

        MsgBox(fieldList)

 End Sub

Got it! I had to replace this:

Dim pFact As IWorkspaceFactory = New AccessWorkspaceFactory

with this:

Dim pFact As IWorkspaceFactory = New FileGDBWorkspaceFactoryClass()
