Hi All,

    i have situation like, in one of my featureclass we have 100 features.
    Using queryfilter we have selected only 20 features from total 100 featrues
   
Currently i am seeing all 100 features with 20 selection.

   Now my problem is, i have to display only 20 features in map.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
   Thanks for your valuable suggestion.
   I have tried to use 'IFeatureLayerDefinition' in the below way.


                pFDef = (IFeatureLayerDefinition2)pFLayer2;
                pFDef.DefinitionExpression = "";
                pFDef.DefinitionExpression = "strColumn_Name='" + myObject.ToString() + "'";

                pActiveView = (IActiveView)pMap;
                pActiveView.Refresh();

But when i am running the code, in ArcMap I am getting ArcMap drawing error as "One or more layers failed to draw:"
Can you please suggest further.

Hello.

You can switch off symbol of layer from Symbol Selector -> Symbol Property Editor window. In this case all 100 features will not be shown. But the result of query filter will be shown.

Have you tried using an IFeatureLayerDefinition? This will display only the selected features as determined by a definition expression (which should be the same syntax as the whereclause in your queryfilter)

Use IFeaturelayerDefintion and set the .DefinitionExpression with your SQL

edit: oops sorry Ken, you were first!

There could be a couple of things at issue. Is 'strColumn_Name' the name of the field or a variable that hold the name of the field? If it's a variable, then you should use

pFDef.DefinitionExpression = strColumn_Name + "='" + myObject.ToString() + "'";

Is the field numeric instead of string? Then you would remove the single quotes from the string.

I would suggest comparing the DefinitionExpression value (use the debugging mode to see what it is exactly) with the expression that works properly in ArcMap

Hi,
  Thanks for your reply Ken. But I have crossed-check once again through debugging. I am getting the proper value into the DefinitionExpressioin.
   Can anyone please share some sample code related to my problem.

Thanks.
