Did you try using it in conjunction with IFeatureclassLoad and ISchemaLock? http://edndoc.esri.com/arcobjects/9.2/ComponentHelp/esriGeoDatabase/IFeatureClassLoad_Example.htm ... View more

Did you look at IApplicationStatus.Initialized ?  Maybe that is false when called the first time. Also, you might consider deploying it as a JITExtension. http://edndoc.esri.com/arcobjects/9.2/NET/06b87b98-6477-4036-85f3-ef27caa00bb0.htm#JIT ... View more

If you show a form every time you catch an exception in the Enabled getter, arcmap can become unwieldy. To avoid seeing a messagebox every 400 millisecs, set the extension to null the first time the exception is caught. untested code: private IExtensionConfig m_MyExtension; public override void OnCreate(object hook) {     if (hook == null)         return;     m_application = hook as IApplication;     if (m_application != null)     {         m_MyExtension = m_application.FindExtensionByName("My Extension") as IExtensionConfig;     } } public override bool Enabled {     get     {         bool enabled = false;         try         {             if (m_MyExtension != null                 && m_MyExtension.State == esriExtensionState.esriESEnabled)                 enabled = AMethodThatMightThrowAnException();         }         catch (Exception ex)         {             MessageBox.Show(ex.Message + Environment.NewLine + ex.StackTrace);             m_MyExtension = null;         }         return enabled;     } } ...

are you doing your inserts between IEditor.StartOperation and IEditor.StopOperation? ... View more

Unhandled exceptions in the Enabled getter can be a real pain.  I'd recommend a try/catch, and call the FindExtension in  OnCreate.  The enabled would return false if the extension reference is null. ... View more

I'd try IDisplayTransformation.TransformCoords for this. Call it twice, first using the IActiveView of the map to get into device coords, then using the IActiveView of the pagelayout to go from device coords into page coords (even though page coords are treated as "map" coords when looking at the args). ...

when you say " without opening the mxd in ArcMap", do you mean you are using ArcEngine? cast the pagelayout to IActiveView, then pass the mouse X/Y to IActiveView.ScreenDisplay.DisplayTransformation.ToMapPoint Even though the method says "ToMapPoint", the resulting point should be in page coordinates. ...

Did you try checking to see if IField.getVarType() returns vbNull ? ... View more

I've proposed this idea.  Go here to vote for it. The new ESRI support forums are not as good as the old forums. http://forums.arcgis.com/ I think ESRI should set up the forums as a Stack Exchange based site. http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/04/changes-to-stack-exchange/ StackOverflow is a good example ... http://stackoverflow.com/ ...

Hey Keith - Looks like IGpDescribeData might do this, but I don't see any documentation for the GpDescribeData object they mention. Maybe IGpUtilities3.Open* would return something that implements IGpDescribeData.  (Just a guess.) ... View more

If you are able to create a topology and have both featureclasses participate, then it would not be that hard to code this. // pseudocode // Make a list of points common to both List<Point> myPoints = new List<Point>(); For each node in ITopologyGraphNodes      parent1count = 0      parent2count = 0      For each parent in node.parents          if parent.m_pfC.Alias == "MyPointFeatureclass" then                parent1count++;          else if parent.m_FC.Alias == "MyLineFeatureclass" then                parent2count++;      next parent      if parent1Count > 0 and parent2Count > 0 then           List.Add((IPoint)node.Geometry); next node // write each point in List to featureclass. foreach point in List     Write point to output featureclass next point ...
