How to know FeatureClasses in File GDB database (eg. topo.gdb)

kishoremudapaka — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 05:28:24 GMT

Hi,

I have folder "Topo.gdb" (a file gdb dataset). I need C++ piece of code, to know the FeatureClasses in that database.

Thanks in advance,
Mudapa

What software are you using? If it's ArcObjects, then you should include the version
in a post to the ArcObjects forum. It's the File Geodatabase API, then you should
say which release (though it should be 1.3) when posting in the FGDB API forum.

Mudapa:

I would suggest using python to execute this task as it is quite simple and not too hard to learn.

As such I would post this same thread to the Python subforum and include the version of ArcGIS you are using (very important) and the operating system that you are working with (not as important).

I can provide you some sample code and provide helpful links from the python forum.

Hi All,

Thanks for the reply. I got solution for this issue.

Here is piece of code in C++

std::vector< std::wstring > childListRoot;

hr = geodatabase.GetChildDatasets(L"\\",L"", childListRoot) // Returns all tables,feature classes,feature datasets etc. in .gdb file
hr = geodatabase.GetChildDatasets(L"\\",L"Feature Class", childListRoot) // Returns Feature classes in .gdb file to childListRoot
