Hello!We have growing need to implement a scenario where user can't see specific table in a workspace, but - via our Arcmap class library - is able to insert rows to the table; that is done programmatically and is generally unobservable process to the user. Firstly - is it possible to do so? Secondly, it seems that the proper solution would be to build workspace extension by using PrivateDatesetNames property.But I have problem defining a suitable ENUMBSTR class for that (in VB.NET). This one is what I have: Public NotInheritable Class MyEnumBSTR
Implements IEnumBSTR
Private _index As Integer = 0
Private _strings As New List(Of String)()
Private Const S_FALSE As Integer = 1
Public Sub Add(ByVal strVal As String)
_strings.Add(strVal)
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal tbls As String())
For Each str As String In tbls
Add(str)
Next
End Sub
Public Sub Reset() Implements IEnumBSTR.Reset
_index = 0
End Sub
Public Function [Next]() As String Implements IEnumBSTR.Next
If _index > _strings.Count Or _index < 1 Then
[Next] = ""
Err.Raise(S_FALSE)
Else
[Next] = _strings.Item(_index)
_index = _index + 1
End If
End Function
End Class
...and property in my extension class: Public ReadOnly Property PrivateDatasetNames(ByVal datasetType As esriDatasetType) As IEnumBSTR _
Implements IWorkspaceExtension.PrivateDatasetNames, IWorkspaceExtension2.PrivateDatasetNames
Get
Dim hiddenTables() As String = New String() {"table1"}
Dim enumBSTR As IEnumBSTR = CType(New MyEnumBSTR(hiddenTables), IEnumBSTR)
Return enumBSTR
End Get
End Property
Now, I have made sure that this extension is really registered for a certain .gdb geodatabase and even MyEnumBSTR.Add method has been called... but I still can see that table in ArcCatalog and in ArcMap.Is there something that I have somehow looked over?Best regards,Raivo Alla,Estonian Land Board
