Currently we only plan on supporting vector data. If you see the need for raster data please enter a request with Esri technical support or on the ArcGIS Ideas site (http://ideas.arcgis.com/). Please provide the business justification for raster data support being added to the File Geodatabase API. Please include an example of the typical workflows where raster support is required. ...

We followed the default when we built the API. Secure scl is enabled by default in VS2008 and disabled in VS2010. You may want to consider moving to VS2010. ... View more

File Geodatabase API 1.1 was built with .NET Framework 4.0 and will not work with earlier versions. This is missing from the README file and will be corrected in the next release. ... View more

In the C++ API, will there be future support for SQL aggregate functions such as MIN() and MAX()? We are currently concentrating on implementing aggregate functions in the 10.1 release. At some point we would like to move this into the API, but we can't even start planning until 10.1 is released. ... View more

I have both of those files in the same folder as the application.  I also have FileGDBAPID.dll.  I removed it now to test but I received the same error. Regarding the C:\Program Files question, when I copy+paste the debug/bin folder from my dev pc to a test pc I'm pasting to the desktop so it's not in C:\Program Files.  When I was trying a Setup and Deploy project then it was going to C:\Program Files\Microsoft\<my app name>.  Neither worked though. I'm not familiar with the licensing aspect of ArcGIS products... I read an ArcObjects license is not needed to run the API, but does the API require ArcGIS Engine Runtime or ArcGIS Desktop?  When we copy+paste our application to a pc with them installed it works correctly. A license should not be required. We have tested on PC's that do not have a license or access to a license without any problems. Are you using ArcObjects code? Can you post (or e-mail me at lshipman@esri.com) the error that you are receiving an example project that returns this error? ... View more

Esri.FileGDBAPI.dll, FileGDBAPI.dll need to be in the same directory as the executable (in in the system path). Have you installed under C:\Program Files? We are investigating a possible issue with installing under C:\Program Files. ... View more

Yes. In general wstring is used for all character parameters in the API. This implies that we are using wchar_t. But in addition to that, we are using UTF-16 encoded characters in the wchar array. Our contract is that the wstrings that we provide as output are always UTF-16 encoded characters, and we require that developers supply the same for input strings that they use in any API function call. The exception is XML data. For XML, we use std::string, not wstring. The reason is that our XML is required to use UTF-8 encoded characters. XML is general supplied in UTF-8, and the std::string class is a better fit for working with UTF-8. We have found that using std::string to contain UTF-8 encoded XML strings is very commonly done in the C++ development community. ... View more

An example was included in the Domains sample in the file geodatabase 1.1 release. You assign a domain to a field via table.AlterField. It is not currently possible to add a domain on table creation. I've added an enhancement (NIM072315) to allow the association of a domain on AddField and on CreateTable. ... View more

Since the samples are working, I don't think there is anything wrong with your set up. I suspect there is something missing from your solution. Can you post it? ... View more

Hi, Ok, I see.  I was able to compile the samples using VS2010 (except for errors for not having the OpenTK namespace). I'm getting the "could not load assembly" errors when I use VS2008 and set the target platform to 32-bit.  Since most of our tasks are still in .NET 3.5, I also want to use the FileGDBAPI in 32-bit; but I keep getting this error. Thanks for your prompt response. The OpenTK error is expected. You must download OpenTK (as noted in the readme document) to get the Display sample to compile. The .NET wrapper works with both 32-bit and 64-bit, but it  is only supported with VS2010. To use VS2008 you will need to download the VS2008 version and use C++. ... View more
