Hi, I tried this code (note I do not set a workspace) and it copied the featuredataset and the featureclasses within it without error. import arcpy i = r'C:\Scratch\fGDB_Scratch.gdb\test' o = r'C:\Scratch\fGDB_AIS_Cleaned.gdb\test' arcpy.Copy_management(i,o,"FeatureDataset") Duncan ... View more

Just an idea but have you tried to link to the database using ArcCatalog? This will at least prove that you can connect to it (so not some weird permission issue) and you'll be able to see the properties of the connection so you can ensure you have a correct connection string? Well thats what I would do first... ... View more

You can do this in one of 2 ways, create a geoprocessor object and call the spatial analyst CON tool. If you want to stay within the arcobject environment then you need to be using the IConditionalOp Interface and do a conditional operation (if nodata set to zero else use existing cell value).

Mustafa, Are you using ESRI software? If so why not simply use the geoprocessor and call the Project tool? If you don't want or can't use ESRI software then you could try to use something like OGR in GDAL which is open source? Duncan ... View more

To future proof your tool and as you know vba I would start using vb. Net. You will need visual studio 2010. In version 10 they have introduced addins which are much easier to distribute. ... View more

Gavin, I must apologies I had made a mistake. I can replicate your issue such that you get 2 AXF files not one when one layer is checked out and the other is a read only layer. So I can't back track fast enough! 😮 Yeah looks like you cannot achieve what you were looking for just 1 AXF file. But in my experience the more you jam into it the less stable it becomes and the device crashes more often. I do what you are planning to, I have a layer checked out that I'm populating and everything else is read only shapefiles. Duncan ... View more

Gavin, In ArcPad 10 when in ArcMap I can use the Get Data for ArcPad wizard to check out data from different geodatabases into a single axf database and one layer can be editable the other read only. The read only never appears in the editable layers menu on ArcPad. You would set one layer as Action > Export as background data (to AXF layer) > Make read only and for the editable layer you code do Action > check out for disconnected editing > check out schema only. So yes you can have editable and read only in a single axf file. Duncan ... View more

Gavin, If you have layers that are only ever going to be read only maybe you should export those to Shapefile for better performance. AXF may be the all singing and dancing solution to most storage solutions but I have found them to be a bit flaky sometimes, especially when one has more than 4 layers in an AXF (well that's my experience anyway).  Check this page out about ArcPad and Shapefiles.

Enrico, I think the short answer is no to both of your questions. Duncan ... View more

Demetris, I've restructured your code. Have a look. You should really get into the habit of documenting your code with comments, this is good programing as it allows others to follow the code easier.

Diss, I created a VB AddIN and in the onclick event I put this code together and got it working. It looks like the input layer has to be a featurelayer object and not a string. Duncan         ' Get handle input point layer         Dim pmap As IMap         pmap = My.ArcMap.Document.FocusMap         Dim pLayer As ILayer         pLayer = pmap.Layer(0)         Dim pFeatureLayer As IFeatureLayer         pFeatureLayer = pLayer                ' Run geoprocessing tool         Try             ' Create Minimum bounding geometry tool             Dim mbg = New ESRI.ArcGIS.DataManagementTools.MinimumBoundingGeometry()             With mbg                 .geometry_type = "convex_hull"                 .in_features = pFeatureLayer                 .out_feature_class = "c:\temp\conhull.shp"             End With             ' Cast as a GPProcess             Dim pGPProcess As ESRI.ArcGIS.Geoprocessor.IGPProcess             pGPProcess = mbg             ' Create GeoProcessor             Dim GP As New ESRI.ArcGIS.Geoprocessor.Geoprocessor             GP.OverwriteOutput = True             GP.AddOutputsToMap = True             ' Execute tool             Dim pResult As ESRI.ArcGIS.Geoprocessing.IGeoProcessorResult2             pResult = GP.Execute(pGPProcess, Nothing)         Catch ex As Exception             MsgBox(ex.Message)         End Try         MsgBox("finished!") ...
