Hi,

I am not sure it's doable.  If you want your buffer polygon to show up in TOC but without writing to disk, try looking at the InMemoryWorkspaceFactoryClass class to create a temp workspace to put your features in.

Hi,

I tried this, and it worked.

            IFeatureLayer2 featureLayer = (IFeatureLayer2)map.get_Layer(0);
            IFeatureClass featureClass = featureLayer.FeatureClass;

            ////create a new feature(row)
            IFeature feature = featureClass.CreateFeature();
            feature.Shape = buffPolygon;

            IFeatureLayer bufferLayer = new FeatureLayerClass();
            bufferLayer.Name = "Buffer Layer";
            bufferLayer.FeatureClass = featureClass;
            axMapControl1.AddLayer(bufferLayer);


buffPolygon is the buffer created.

I don't know how efficient this code is. But it works fine
