Problems with rasterdataset NoData Value

paulkennedy — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 20:07:29 GMT

Morning,
Using ArcGIS 10.1 Build 3035...

I am having terrible trouble setting a NoData value for a file geodatabase rasterdataset with ArcObjects. I create the rasterDataset, and populate the pixels without trouble. I set the NoData to -9999, which is my preferred nodata value.

        //http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&f=993&t=258752
        private IRaster getRaster(IRasterDataset rasterDataset, float noDataValue)
        {
            // Create a raster in the dataset; also add a bands collection
            IRaster rc = new RasterClass();
            IRasterBandCollection rasterBC;
            rasterBC = (IRasterBandCollection)rc;
            rasterBC.AppendBands((IRasterBandCollection)rasterDataset);

            // Now set the raster properties
            IRasterProps resultProps = (IRasterProps)rasterBC.Item(0);

            // assign the NoDataValue and return
            resultProps.NoDataValue = noDataValue;
            return rc;
        }

There are no errors thrown, so I assume all is well.

I then look at the properties of my new rasterDataset in ArcCatalog. All settings are fine OTHER than the NoValue. Hmm. I have been tearing my hair out trying to make this value get saved into the FGBD.

To try and find my mistake, using ArcCatalog, I manually created a new FGBD, then manually created a new RasterDataset (picel type: floating point, and set the NoData value to -9999. It appears to accept the value, but if I then F5 to refresh the geodatabase, and check the raster settings, the noData value is blank.

Hmm.

This leads me to believe there is a problem setting the novalue field in ArcGIS10.1 when using a file geodatabase. It is not just in ArcObjects, but also in ArcCatalog.

I trawled thru the forums, and can see others have had this problem, but there is nobody with a clear solution which actually works. Indeed, if it does not manually work in ArcCatalog, then ArcObjects has no chance.

Can anyone help?

You'd be better off posting raster questions in the Imagery and Raster Data forum.
ArcObjects questions are more likely to receive a response over in ArcObjects SDKs.

It's entirely possible that you need to recode the NODATA after your processing task.

Paul,

I am having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
