Is FeatureClass being written to?

[MeleKoneya]

I am using append from ESRI.ArcGIS.DataManagementTools namespace to update a feature class in SDE with features from another SDE Feature class.     The program works fine as long as there is not an edit operation ocurrning on the Feature Class being appended to.

I can tell if the workspace is being edited, but that is not the level that I need to know at.   I can also use ISchemaLock, but that does not help in this case as it is not a schema edit.

Is there a way via ArcObjects to determine if a Feature Class is being written to?

Thanks,

Mele

Mele,

I've never used it but have a go at using the Interface IDatasetEdit?

Duncan,

Thanks.    I had never heard of that interface.    I will give it a try.   It does sound promising.
