Hi Robert, So I've been messing with this a little bit and still don't quite get it.  I've got SQL Express installed, but can't seem to create a database unless I have an 'authorization file'....which I don't have.  So are you saying that you are working on an update to ArcPro that will allow you to create a database without an authorization file?? ...

Hi Charles Macleod‌ and Rich Ruh‌, I was able to get the EditOperation code to work by changing a bit of the code.  As Charles mentioned, using the non-recycling cursor allows me to edit the field, but again only when there is NO join.  As soon as I add the join I cannot edit the field because of the 'mangled' field name. So it seems like regardless of using EditOperation or Inspector Classes, there needs to be some way to access the field when there is a join.  In ArcObjects I never had this problem, but if there is a better solution to what I am trying to do just let me know.  In the meantime I am working on packaging up some data and will hopefully get a ticket submitted later today. Thanks! ... View more

OK.  Sounds good.  I will ZIP up a bunch of data and the source code.  How do I send it to Tech Support??  Can you give me their contact info?? I'm out of the office tomorrow, but I'll try to get it out to you on Wednesday. Thanks, ... View more

Hi Rich, I'm trying to edit using EditOperation, but having some issues getting the code to work.  Can you see where I am going wrong?  No errors, but the feature doesn't actually get edited.                             foreach (var oid in selectedOIDs)                             {                                 var qf = new QueryFilter() { WhereClause = "OBJECTID = " + oid };                                 var cursor = currentLayer.Search(qf);                                 var editOp = new EditOperation { Name = "Edit DEPOTAREA" };                                                                 while (cursor.MoveNext())                                 {                                     Row row = cursor.Current;                                     editOp.Modify(row, "DEPOTAREA", "ORONO");                                     featureCount++;                                 }                                 editOp.Execute();                             }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Hi Rich, Yes, the other fields have mangled names too, but only with the join present.   All the fields are from the same table/feature. I will give it a go with Editor.Modify() and get back to you. Thanks! ... View more

Hi, Using the .GetFieldDesciptions I can see that the name without the join is "DEPOTAREA" and with the join it is "GISWRKS1.WORKS.SAN_Manhole.DEPOTAREA".  But....the three lines of code before the DEPOTAREA assignment are working properly, so I'm confused as to why the DEPOTAREA field is not working.  GRIDNO, LocalMunicipality and SettlementArea are not causing me any problems. In ArcObjects I would use this line of code to do basically the same thing, and never ran into problems related to Joins: feature.set_Value(feature.Fields.FindField("DEPOTAREA"), UpdateByLandFeature(feature, depotAreaFLayer, "DEPOTAREA"));‍ Is there a recommended way for editing fields that I am not doing right??  I never know when a user may/may not have a join and I would like this to work for all instances, just like in ArcMap. Thanks! ... View more

Hi Rich Ruh‌.  Sorry for the delay getting back to you, but I am back in the office now. I've done some more testing, but I am still getting the same error even when hard-coding the value in as you describe above....but ONLY when I have a join on that layer.  Without a join, the same code works fine.  Is there anything else you think I should test?? ...

Hi RRuh-esristaff‌ and UHarano-esristaff Thanks!  That definitely helps.  Now that I have gotten past that, there is another line of code that is getting an exception, but again, only when a Join is present.  Here is a screen shot....hopefully you can help with this too: Basically, the GetIntersectingField returns a string value to populate the DEPOTAREA field.  It only crashes when a Join is present.  Again, I'm not really sure why.  By stepping through the code the proper values are getting returned.  Manually I can do the same edit to the DEPOTAREA field through the Attributes pane without any problems. Here is the code for the GetIntersectingField, but it seems to be working fine.  The DEPOTAREA field is associated with a domain if that makes any difference, but the code works fine with no Join present.         //This does a SpatialQuery using the current feature point and a layer to get the intersecting field value         public string GetIntersectingField(MapPoint point, string fieldName, FeatureLayer sourceLayer)         {             try             {                 SpatialQueryFilter spatialFilter = new SpatialQueryFilter();                 spatialFilter.FilterGeometry = point;                 spatialFilter.SpatialRelationship = SpatialRelationship.Intersects;                 spatialFilter.SubFields = fieldName;                 string fieldValue = "";                 int i = 0;                 RowCursor gridCursor = sourceLayer.Search(spatialFilter);                 Feature feature;                 while (gridCursor.MoveNext())                 {                     using (feature = (Feature)gridCursor.Current)                     {                         int fieldPosition = feature.FindField(fieldName);                         fieldValue = feature[fieldPosition].ToString();                         i++;                     }                 }                 //if CONTRACTNO and more than one intersecting boundary, then show a message box and populate field with nothing                 if ((fieldName == "CONTRACTNO") && (i > 1))                 {                     fieldValue = null;                     ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show("There is more than one intersecting Contract Boundary for ??.  Please enter this field in manually.", "Contract Number");                 }                 return fieldValue;             }             catch (Exception ex)             {                 ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs.MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());                 return null;             }         }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

OK, so with both in the same FGDB I can get past that bit of code.  Is there anything you can suggest I look for within my original setup to get things to work?? In ArcMap, I have similar code which works on the same SDE feature class and table combination. ... View more

Hi Uma, No, nothing fancy.  My feature layer is in SDE, and the table is in the project file GDB.  I will try exporting the feature layer to the file GDB and report back. Thanks, ... View more

Hi, I am having this same problem also.  Restarting the application is not making a difference.  I am trying to delete many fields in a FGDB.  Doesn't seem to matter if the FGDB was created in ArcMap or ArcPro, I have the same issue with either. I am trying to delete many fields, but even if I just select a few, I get the same problem.  See image below: It seems like it deletes one or two fields, and then stops.  Afterwards the FGDB is not accessible and all my data is lost, even after a restart of ArcPro. I have tried creating the feature class from scratch, by importing from another GDB (both PGDB and FGDB), and also by importing from a shapefile.  All cases eventually lead to me getting the above error when trying to delete fields. ...

I think the name difference is probably due to me renaming my server connection after I create it. Yes, I'll keep you posted if I run into troubles again. ... View more
