How many states is including in a country

Hello everyone,

Actually i need to know how many polygons are inside to other bigger. Example how many states is including in a country.

I am new programming in ArcGis but I see that one way is add one method in Attribute Assistant (.Net)

If you know other way please I thank for any support.

Best regards

Willy,

If you are talking about ArcGIS Desktop then you can use the select by location option in the selection menu in ArcMap.

There are several ways to figure this out - here's another:

1.) Make sure your country file has a field with country name or ID

2.) Spatial Join the countries to the states, based on HAVE_THEIR_CENTER_IN, although the relationship may depend on your data.

3.) Summary Statistics to COUNT the result from #2, case_field = country name or ID.
