I wrote a method to create a list of a feature class' ID field, but it takes at least a minute to complete. I was wondering if it would possible to just to create a definition of the field and create a list from it? Please see the script I started to try to use the definition of the field to create the list and my original method.
Table table = featLayer.GetTable();
using (TableDefinition tabledef = table.GetDefinition())
{
var fieldID = tabledef.GetFields().First(x => x.Name.Equals(fieldIDName));
.
foreach (var fieldID in fieldIDs)
{
FieldIDList.Add(fieldID.Name);
}
}
public List<string> GetFieldIDs(FeatureLayer CopyLyr, string AggregateField)
{
var FieldIDs = new List<string>();
using (var rowCursor = CopyLyr.Search())
{
while (rowCursor.MoveNext())
{
using (Row row = rowCursor.Current)
{
string fieldID = Convert.ToString(row[AggregateField]);
FieldIDs.Add(fieldID);
}
}
}
return FieldIDs;
}
