===== Public Methods =====
==== AddFeature(Feature) ====
This method adds a new Feature to an existing transaction.
=== Remarks ===
This method adds a new Feature to an existing transaction. You will need to ensure that you have started a transaction by calling BeginTransaction.

The Transaction System

The transaction system of a FeatureSource sits on top of the inherited implementation of any specific source, such as Oracle Spatial or Shape files. In this way, it functions the same way for every FeatureSource. You start by calling BeginTransaction. This allocates a collection of in-memory change buffers that are used to store changes until you commit the transaction. So, for example, when you call the Add, Delete or Update method, the changes to the feature are stored in memory only. If for any reason you choose to abandon the transaction, you can call RollbackTransaction at any time and the in-memory buffer will be deleted and the changes will be lost. When you are ready to commit the transaction, you call CommitTransaction and the collections of changes are then passed to the CommitTransactionCore method and the implementer of the specific FeatureSource is responsible for integrating your changes into the underlying FeatureSource. By default the IsLiveTransaction property is set to false, which means that until you commit the changes, the FeatureSource API will not reflect any changes that are in the temporary editing buffer.

In the case where the IsLiveTransaction is set to true, then things function slightly differently. The live transaction concept means that all of the modifications you perform during a transaction are live from the standpoint of the querying methods on the object.

As an example, imagine that you have a FeatureSource that has 10 records in it. Next, you begin a transaction and then call GetAllFeatures. The result would be 10 records. After that, you call a delete on one of the records and call the GetAllFeatures again. This time you only get nine records, even though the transaction has not yet been committed. In the same sense, you could have added a new record or modified an existing one and those changes would be considered live, though not committed.

In the case where you modify records -- such as expanding the size of a polygon -- those changes are reflected as well. For example, you expand a polygon by doubling its size and then do a spatial query that would not normally return the smaller record, but instead would return the larger records. In this case, the larger records are returned. You can set this property to be false, as well; in which case, all of the spatially related methods would ignore anything that is currently in the transaction buffer waiting to be committed. In such a case, only after committing the transaction would the FeatureSource reflect the changes.
=== Return Value ===

==== BeginTransaction() ====
This method starts a new transaction if the FeasuteSource allows editing
=== Remarks ===
This method is used to start a transaction, assuming that the FeatureSource allows editing. There are some additional prerequisites to beginning a transaction, such as ensuring that a transaction is not already in progress. You must also be sure that the FeatureSource has been opened.

==== Close() ====
This method closes the FeatureSource and releases any resources it was using.
=== Remarks ===
This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method CloseCore. The Close method plays an important role in the life cycle of the FeatureSource. It may be called after drawing to release any memory and other resources that were allocated since the Open method was called.

If you override the Core version of this method, it is recommended that you take the following things into account: This method may be called multiple times, so we suggest you write the method so that that a call to a closed FeatureSource is ignored and does not generate an error. We also suggest that in the Close you free all resources that have been opened. Remember that the object will not be destroyed, but will be re-opened possibly in the near future.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

==== CommitTransaction() ====
This method will commit the existing transaction to its underlying source of data.
=== Remarks ===
This method is the concrete wrapper for the virtual method CommitTransactionCore. As this is the concrete version, the real work is done in the Core version of the method. It will commit the existing transaction to its underlying source of data. It will then pass back the results of the commit, including any error(s) received. Lastly, it will free up the internal memory cache of any InternalFeatures added, updated or deleted. You will need to ensure that you have started a transaction by calling BeginTransaction.

==== GetAllFeatures(ReturningColumnsType) ====
This method returns all of the InternalFeatures in the FeatureSource.
=== Remarks ===
This method returns all of the InternalFeatures in the FeatureSource. It will return whatever is returned by the GetAllFeaturesCore method, along with any of the additions or subtractions made if you are in a transaction and that transaction is configured to be live.

The main purpose of this method is to be the anchor of all of our default virtual implementations within this class. We as the framework developers wanted to provide you the user with as much default virtual implementation as possible. To do this, we needed a way to get access to all of the features. For example, let's say we want to create a default implementation for finding all of the InternalFeatures in a bounding box. Because this is an abstract class, we do not know the specifics of the underlying data or how its spatial indexes work. What we do know is that if we get all of the records, then we can brute-force the answer. In this way, if you inherited from this class and only implemented this one method, we can provide default implementations for virtually every other API.

While this is nice for you the developer if you decide to create your own FeatureSource, it comes with a price: namely, it is very inefficient. In the example we just discussed (about finding all of the InternalFeatures in a bounding box), we would not want to look at every record to fulfil this method. Instead, we would want to override the GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBoxCore and implement specific code that would be faster. For example, in Oracle Spatial there is a specific SQL statement to perform this operation very quickly. The same holds true with other specific FeatureSource examples.

Most default implementations in the FeatureSource call the GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBoxCore, which by default calls the GetAllFeaturesCore. It is our advice that if you create your own FeatureSource that you ALWAYS override the GetFeatureInsideBoundingBox. This will ensure that nearly every other API will operate efficiently. Please see the specific API to determine what method it uses.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

==== GetBoundingBoxById(String) ====
This method returns a bounding box based on the InternalFeatures Id specified.
=== Remarks ===
This method returns a bounding box by providing an Id. The internal implementation calls the GetFeaturesByIdsCore and only passes one Id in the collection.

==== GetColumns() ====
This method returns the columns available for the FeatureSource and caches them.
=== Remarks ===
As this is the concrete method wrapping the GetColumnsCore, it is important to note that this method will cache the results to GetColumnsCore. What this means is that the first time this method is called it will call GetCollumnsCore, which is protected, and cache the results. The next time this method is called it will not call GetColumnsCore again. This was done to increase speed, as this is a critical method that is used very often in the internal code of the class.

==== GetFeaturesNearestTo(BaseShape, GeographyUnit, Int32, IEnumerable<String>, Double, DistanceUnit) ====
This method returns a user defined number of InternalFeatures that are closest to the TargetShape.
=== Remarks ===
This method returns a user defined number of InternalFeatures that are closest to the TargetShape. It is important to note that the TargetShape and the FeatureSource must use the same unit, such as feet or meters. If they do not, then the results will not be predictable or correct. If there is a current transaction and it is marked as live, then the results will include any transaction Feature that applies.

The implementation we provided creates a small bounding box around the TargetShape and then queries the features inside of it. If we reach the number of items to find, then we measure the returned InternalFeatures to find the nearest. If we do not find enough records, we scale up the bounding box and try again. As you can see, this is not the most efficient method. If your underlying data provider exposes a more efficient way, we recommend you override the Core version of this method and implement it.

The default implementation of GetFeaturesNearestCore uses the GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBoxCore method for speed. We strongly recommend that you provide your own implementation for this method that will be more efficient. When you override GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBoxCore method, we recommend that you use any spatial indexes you have at your disposal to make this method as fast as possible.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

==== GetFeaturesWithinDistanceOf(BaseShape, GeographyUnit, DistanceUnit, Double, ReturningColumnsType) ====
This method returns a collection of InternalFeatures that are within a certain distance of the TargetShape.
=== Remarks ===
This method returns a collection of InternalFeatures that are within a certain distance of the TargetShape. It is important to note that the TargetShape and the FeatureSource must use the same unit, such as feet or meters. If they do not, then the results will not be predictable or correct. If there is a current transaction and it is marked as live, then the results will include any transaction Feature that applies.

The implementation we provided creates a bounding box around the TargetShape using the distance supplied and then queries the features inside of it. This may not be the most efficient method for this operation. If your underlying data provider exposes a more efficient way, we recommend you override the Core version of this method and implement it.

The default implementation of GetFeaturesWithinDistanceOfCore uses the GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBoxCore method for speed. We strongly recommend that you provide your own implementation for this method that will be more efficient. When you override GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBoxCore method, we recommend that you use any spatial indexes you have at your disposal to make this method as fast as possible.

==== GetFirstFeaturesWellKnownType() ====
This method returns the well known type that represents the first feature from FeatureSource.
=== Remarks ===
This method is the concrete wrapper for the virtual method GetFirstFeaturesWellKnownTypeCore. It will return whatever is returned by the GetFirstFeaturesWellKnownTypeCore method, along with any additions or subtractions made if you are in a transaction and that transaction is configured to be live. To determine what the default implementation of the abstract GetCountCore method is, please see the documentation for it.

The default implementation of GetFirstFeaturesWellKnownTypeCore uses the GetAllFeaturesCore method to get WellKnownType of the first feature from all features. We strongly recommend that you provide your own implementation for this method that will be more efficient.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

==== Open() ====
This method opens the FeatureSource so that it is initialized and ready to use.
=== Remarks ===
This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method OpenCore. The Open method plays an important role, as it is responsible for initializing the FeatureSource. Most methods on the FeatureSource will throw an exception if the state of the FeatureSource is not opened. When the map draws each layer, it will open the FeatureSource as one of its first steps, then after it is finished drawing with that layer it will close it. In this way we are sure to release all resources used by the FeatureSource.

When implementing the abstract method, consider opening files for file-based sources, connecting to databases in the database-based sources and so on. You will get a chance to close these in the Close method of the FeatureSource.

In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs.

==== RollbackTransaction() ====
This method will cancel an existing transaction. It will free up the internal memory cache of any InternalFeatures added, updated or deleted.
=== Remarks ===
This method will cancel an existing transaction. It will free up the internal memory cache of any InternalFeatures added, updated or deleted. You will need to ensure that you have started a transaction by calling BeginTransaction.

The Transaction System

The transaction system of a FeatureSource sits on top of the inherited implementation 	of any specific source, such as Oracle Spatial or Shape files. In this way, it functions 	the same way for every FeatureSource. You start by calling BeginTransaction. This 	allocates a collection of in-memory change buffers that are used to store changes until 	you commit the transaction. So, for example, when you call the Add, Delete or Update 	method, the changes to the feature are stored in memory only. If for any reason you 	choose to abandon the transaction, you can call RollbackTransaction at any time and the 	in-memory buffer will be deleted and the changes will be lost. When you are ready to 	commit the transaction, you call CommitTransaction and the collections of changes 	are then passed to the CommitTransactionCore method and the implementer of the specific 	FeatureSource is responsible for integrating your changes into the underlying 	FeatureSource. By default the IsLiveTransaction property is set to false, which means 	that until you commit the changes, the FeatureSource API will not reflect any changes 	that are in the temporary editing buffer.

In the case where the IsLiveTransaction is set to true, then things function slightly 	differently. The live transaction concept means that all of the modifications you 	perform during a transaction are live from the standpoint of the querying methods on 	the object.

As an example, imagine that you have a FeatureSource that has 10 records in it. 	Next, you begin a transaction and then call GetAllFeatures. The result would be 10 	records. After that, you call a delete on one of the records and call the GetAllFeatures 	again. This time you only get nine records, even though the 	transaction has not yet been committed. In the same sense, you could have added a new 	record or modified an existing one and those changes would be considered live, though not 	committed.

In the case where you modify records -- such as expanding the size of a polygon -- those 	changes are reflected as well. For example, you expand a polygon by doubling its size 	and then do a spatial query that would not normally return the smaller record, but instead 	would return the larger records. In this case, the larger records are returned. You can set this 	property to be false, as well; in which case, all of the spatially related methods would 	ignore anything that is currently in the transaction buffer waiting to be committed. In 	such a case, only after committing the transaction would the FeatureSource reflect the 	changes.

==== ConvertToExternalProjection(RectangleShape) ====
This method projects items based on the Projection of the FeatureSource.
=== Remarks ===
This is a protected method that is intended to help developers who want to implement or extend one of our FeatureSources. It is important to note that projection, as a general rule, happens inside the non-Core methods and we usually take care of it. However, as a developer, if you wish to add a new public method, then you will need to handle the projection yourself.

With these projection methods it is very easy to handle the projection and de-projection. Remember that when adding your own public methods you always de-project incoming shapes and alway project outgoing shapes. Also remember that the Core methods do not consider projection, and they assume the data being passed into them and out of them is the same unit as the underlying data.

Example of a New Public Method:

public Feature ProcessFeature(Feature incomingFeature)
{

<nowiki>//</nowiki>Be sure that you use the FromProjection on the incomingFeatureParameter as the first thing you do in this method.

<nowiki>//</nowiki> Call a Core Method or do your own processing

<nowiki>//</nowiki>Be sure that you call the ToProjection on the return result of the method before you pass it out.

==== GetColumnNamesInsideFeatureSource(IEnumerable<String>) ====
This method returns the field names that are in the FeatureSource from a list of provided field names.
=== Remarks ===
This is a protected method that is intended to help developers who want to implement or extend one of our FeatureSources. It is important to note that, as a general rule, returning column data of a Feature or a set of InternalFeatures happens inside the non-Core methods and we usually take care of it. However, as a developer, if you wish to add a new public method, then you will need to handle the projection yourself.

Let's say, for example, that you want to add a new Find method called FindLargeFeatures. You pass in a group of columns to return. Most of the time, the requested columns will actually be in the FeatureSource, but sometimes they will not. The way we allow users to get data from outside of the Feature Source is by raising an event called CustomColumnFetch. This way, we allow people to provide data that is outside of the FeatureSource. Since you will be implementing your own public method, you will want to support this as all of our other public methods do.

When you first enter the public method, you will want to separate out the fields that are in the FeatureSource from those that are not. You can call this method and the GetColumnNamesOutsideFeatureSource. If inside your public method you need to call any of our Core methods, then you need to make sure that you only pass in the list of column names that are in the FeatureSource. We assume that Core methods are simple and they do not handle this complexity.

With the list of non-FeatureSource column names, you simply loop through each column name for each record and call the OnCustomColumnFetch method while passing in the proper parameters. This will allow you give the user a chance to provide the values for the Feature's fields that were not in the FeatureSource. After that, you combine your results and pass them back out as the return.

public Collection&lt;Feature&gt; FindLargeFeatures(double AreaSize, IEnumerable &lt;string&gt; columnsToReturn)
{

<nowiki>//</nowiki>Step 1: Separate the columns that are in the FeatureSource from those that are not.

<nowiki>//</nowiki> Step 2: Call any Core Methods and only pass in the columns that are in the FeatureSource

<nowiki>//</nowiki>Step3: For Each feature/column name combination, call the OnCustomFiedlFetch and allow your user to provide the custom data.

<nowiki>//</nowiki> Step4: Integrate the custom data with the result of the Core method plus any processing you did. Then return the consolidated result.

==== GetFeaturesWithinDistanceOfCore(BaseShape, GeographyUnit, DistanceUnit, Double, IEnumerable<String>) ====
This method returns a collection of InternalFeatures that are within a certain distance of the TargetShape.This query will apply to all featureSource within this MultipleFeatureSource.
=== Remarks ===
This method returns a collection of InternalFeatures that are within a certain distance of the TargetShape. It is important to note that the TargetShape and the FeatureSource use the same unit such as feet or meters. If they do not then the results will not be predictable or correct. If there is a current transaction and it is marked as live then the results will include any transaction Feature that applies.

The implementation we provided create a bounding box around the TargetShape using the distance supplied and then queries the features inside of it. This may not the most efficient method for this operation. If you underlying data provider exposes a more efficient way we recommend you override the Core version of this method and implement it.

The default implementation of GetFeaturesWithinDistanceOfCore uses the GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBoxCore method for speed. We strongly recommend that you provide your own implementation for this method that will be more efficient. We recommend when you override GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBoxCore method that you use any spatial indexes you have at your disposal to make this method as fast as possible.

==== GetFirstFeaturesWellKnownTypeCore() ====
This method returns the well known type that represents the first feature from FeatureSource.
=== Remarks ===
This protected virtual method is called from the concrete public method GetFirstFeaturesWellKnownType. It does not take into account any transaction activity, as this is the responsibility of the concrete public method GetFirstFeaturesWellKnownType. This way, as a developer, if you choose to override this method you do not have to consider transactions at all.

The default implementation of GetCountCore uses the GetAllRFeaturesCore method to get WellKnownType of the first feature from all features. We strongly recommend that you provide your own implementation for this method that will be more efficient.

If you do not override this method, it will get the count by calling the GetAllFeaturesCore method and get WellKnownType of the first feature from all features. This is a very inefficient way to get the count in most data sources. It is highly recommended that you override this method and replace it with a highly optimized version. For example, in a ShapeFile the record count is in the main header of the file. Similarly, if you are using Oracle Spatial, you can execute a simple query to get the count of all of the records without returning them. In these ways you can greatly improve the performance of this method.

==== OnClosedFeatureSource(ClosedFeatureSourceEventArgs) ====
This method allows you to raise the ClosedFeatureSource event from a derived class.
=== Remarks ===
You can call this method from a derived class to enable it to raise the ClosedFeatureSource event. This may be useful if you plan to extend the FeatureSource and you need access to the event.

Details on the event:

This event is called after the closing of the FeatureSource. Technically, this event is called after the calling of the Close method on the FeatureSource and after the protected CloseCore method.

It is typical that the FeatureSource may be opened and closed may times during the life cycle of your application. The type of control the MapEngine is embedded in will dictate how often this happens. For example, in the case of the Web Edition, each time a FeatureSource is in the Ajax or Post Back part of the page cycle, it will close the FeatureSource before returning back to the client. This is to conserve resources, as the web is a connection-less environment. In the case of the Desktop Edition, we can keep the FeaureSources open, knowing that we can maintain a persistent connection.

==== OnClosingFeatureSource(ClosingFeatureSourceEventArgs) ====
This method allows you to raise the ClosingFeatureSource event from a derived class.
=== Remarks ===
You can call this method from a derived class to enable it to raise the ClosingFeatureSource event. This may be useful if you plan to extend the FeatureSource and you need access to the event.

Details on the event:

This event is called before the closing of the FeatureSource. Technically, this event is called after the calling of the Close method on the FeatureSource, but before the protected CloseCore method.

It is typical that the FeatureSource may be opened and closed may times during the life cycle of your application. The type of control the MapEngine is embedded in will dictate how often this happens.

==== OnCommittedTransaction(CommittedTransactionEventArgs) ====
This method allows you to raise the CommittedTransaction event from a derived class.
=== Remarks ===
You can call this method from a derived class to enable it to raise the CommittedTransaction event. This may be useful if you plan to extend the FeatureSource and you need access to the event.

Details on the event:

This event is raised after the CommitTransactionCore is called and allows you access to the TransactionBuffer and the TransactionResults object before CommitTransaction method is returned.

With this event, you can analyze the results of the transaction and do any cleanup code necessary. In the event some of the records did not commit, you can handle these items here. The TransactionResults object is passed out of the CommitTransaction method so you could analyze it then; however, this is the only place where you have access to both the TransactionResults object and the TransactionBuffer object at the same time. These are useful together to try and determine what went wrong and possibly try and re-commit them.

At the time of this event, you will technically be out of the current transaction.

==== OnCommittingTransaction(CommittingTransactionEventArgs) ====
This method allows you to raise the CommittingTransaction event from a derived class.
=== Remarks ===
You can call this method from a derived class to enable it to raise the CommittingTransaction event. This may be useful if you plan to extend the FeatureSource and you need access to the event.

Details on the event:

This event is raised before the CommitTransactionCore is called and allows you access to the TransactionBuffer before the transaction is committed. It also allows you to cancel the pending transaction. The TransactionBuffer is the object that stores all of the pending transactions and is accessible through this event to allow you either add, remove or modify transactions.

In the event that you cancel the CommitTransaction method, the transaction remains intact and you will still be editing. This makes it a nice place to possibly check for connectivity before the TransactionCore code is run, which is where the records are actually committed. Calling the RollBackTransaction method is the only way to permanently cancel a pending transaction without committing it.

==== OnCustomColumnFetch(CustomColumnFetchEventArgs) ====
This method allows you to raise the CustomColumnFetch event from a derived class.
=== Remarks ===
You can call this method from a derived class to enable it to raise the CustomColumnFetch event. This may be useful if you plan to extend the FeatureSource and you need access to user-definable field data.

Details on the event:

This event is raised when fields are requested in a feature source method that do not exist in the feature source. It allows you supplement the data from any outside source you may have.

It is used primarily when you have data relating to a particular feature or set of features that is not within source of the data. For example, you may have a shape file of the world whose .dbf component describes the area and population of each country. Additionally, in an outside SQL Server table, you may also have data about the countries, and it is this data that you wish to use for determining how you want to color each country.

To integrate this SQL data, you simply create a file name that does not exist in the .dbf file. Whenever Map Suite is queried to return records that specifically require this field, the FeatureSource will raise this event and allow you the developer to supply the data. In this way, you can query the SQL table and store the data in some sort of collection, and then when the event is raised, simply supply that data.

As this is an event, it will raise for each feature and field combination requested. This means that the event can be raised quite often, and we suggest that you cache the data you wish to supply in memory. We recommend against sending out a new SQL query each time this event is raised. Image that you are supplementing two columns and your query returns 2,000 rows. This means that if you requested those fields, the event would be raised 4,000 times.

==== OnOpenedFeatureSource(OpenedFeatureSourceEventArgs) ====
This method allows you to raise the OpenedFeatureSource event from a derived class.
=== Remarks ===
You can call this method from a derived class to enable it to raise the OpenedFeatureSource event. This may be useful if you plan to extend the FeatureSource and you need access to the event.

Details on the event:

This event is called after the opening of the FeatureSource. Technically, this event is called after the calling of the Open method on the FeatureSource and after the protected OpenCore method is called.

It is typical that the FeatureSource may be opened and closed may times during the life cycle of your application. The type of control the MapEngine is embedded in will dictate how often this happens. For example, in the case of the Web Edition, each time a FeatureSource is in the Ajax or Post Back part of the page cycle, it will close the FeatureSource before returning back to the client.

==== SpatialQueryCore(BaseShape, QueryType, IEnumerable<String>) ====
This method returns all of the InternalFeatures based on the target Feature and the spatial query type specified.
=== Remarks ===
This method returns all of the InternalFeatures based on the target Feature and the spatial query type specified below. This spatial query will apply to all featureSource within this MultipleFeatureSource. 	
<strong>Spatial Query Types:</strong>

<strong>Disjoint</strong> - This method returns InternalFeatures where the specific Feature and the targetShape have no points in common.

<strong>Intersects</strong> - This method returns InternalFeatures where the specific Feature and the targetShape have at least one point in common.

<strong>Touches</strong> - This method returns InternalFeatures where the specific Feature and the targetShape have at least one boundary point in common, but no interior points.

<strong>Crosses</strong> - This method returns InternalFeatures where the specific Feature and the targetShape share some but not all interior points.

<strong>Within</strong> - This method returns InternalFeatures where the specific Feature lies within the interior of the targetShape.

<strong>Contains</strong> - This method returns InternalFeatures where the specific Feature lies within the interior of the current shape.

<strong>Overlaps</strong> - This method returns InternalFeatures where the specific Feature and the targetShape share some but not all points in common.

<strong>TopologicalEqual</strong> - This method returns InternalFeatures where the specific Feature and the target Shape are topologically equal.

The default implementation of SpatialQueryCore uses the GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBoxCore method to pre-filter the spatial query. We strongly recommend that you provide your own implementation for this method that will be more efficient. We recommend when you override that method that you use any spatial indexes you have at your disposal to make this method as fast as possible.

[[#Public Properties|Go Back]]
==== IsTransactionLive ====
This property returns true if the features currently modified in a transaction are expected to reflect their state when calling other methods on the FeatureSource, such as spatial queries.
=== Remarks ===
The live transaction concept means that all of the modifications you perform during a transaction are live from the standpoint of the querying methods on the object.

As an example, imagine that you have a FeatureSource that has 10 records in it. Next, you begin a transaction and then call GetAllFeatures. The result would be 10 records. After that, you call a delete on one of the records and call the GetAllFeatures again. This time you only get nine records, even though the transaction has not yet been committed. In the same sense, you could have added a new record or modified an existing one and those changes would be considered live, though not committed.

In the case where you modify records -- such as expanding the size of a polygon -- those changes are reflected as well. For example, you expand a polygon by doubling its size and then do a spatial query that would not normally return the smaller record, but instead would return the larger records. In this case, the larger records are returned. You can set this property to be false, as well; in which case, all of the spatially related methods would ignore anything that is currently in the transaction buffer waiting to be committed. In such a case, only after committing the transaction would the FeatureSource reflect the changes.

[[#Public Properties|Go Back]]
==== Projection ====
This property holds the projection object that is used within the FeatureSource to ensure that features inside of the FeatureSource are projected.
=== Remarks ===
By default this property is null, meaning that the data being passed back from any methods on the FeatureSource will be in the coordinate system of the raw data. When you specify a projection object in the property, all incoming and outgoing method calls will subject the features to projection.

For example, if the spatial database you are using has all of its data stored in decimal degrees, but you want to see the data in UTM, you would create a projection object that goes from decimal degrees to UTM and set that as the projection. With this one property set, we will ensure that it will seem to you the developer that all of the data in the FeatureSource is in UTM. That means every spatial query will return UTM projected shapes. You can even pass in UTM shapes for the parameters. Internally, we will ensure that the shapes are converted to and from the projection without any intervention on the developer's part.

In fact, even when you override virtual or abstract core methods in the FeatureSource, you will not need to know about projections at all. Simply work with the data in its native coordinate system. We will handle all of the projection at the high level method.

==== TransactionBuffer ====
The TransactionBuffer used in the Transaction System.
=== Remarks ===
The Transaction System

The transaction system of a FeatureSource sits on top of the inherited implementation of any specific source, such as Oracle Spatial or Shape files. In this way, it functions the same way for every FeatureSource. You start by calling BeginTransaction. This allocates a collection of in-memory change buffers that are used to store changes until you commit the transaction. So, for example, when you call the Add, Delete or Update method, the changes to the feature are stored in memory only. If for any reason you choose to abandon the transaction, you can call RollbackTransaction at any time and the in-memory buffer will be deleted and the changes will be lost. When you are ready to commit the transaction, you call CommitTransaction and the collections of changes are then passed to the CommitTransactionCore method and the implementer of the specific FeatureSource is responsible for integrating your changes into the underlying FeatureSource. By default the IsLiveTransaction property is set to false, which means that until you commit the changes, the FeatureSource API will not reflect any changes that are in the temporary editing buffer.

In the case where the IsLiveTransaction is set to true, then things function slightly differently. The live transaction concept means that all of the modifications you perform during a transaction are live from the standpoint of the querying methods on the object.

As an example, imagine that you have a FeatureSource that has 10 records in it. Next, you begin a transaction and then call GetAllFeatures. The result would be 10 records. After that, you call a delete on one of the records and call the GetAllFeatures again. This time you only get nine records, even though the transaction has not yet been committed. In the same sense, you could have added a new record or modified an existing one and those changes would be considered live, though not committed.

In the case where you modify records -- such as expanding the size of a polygon -- those changes are reflected as well. For example, you expand a polygon by doubling its size and then do a spatial query that would not normally return the smaller record, but instead would return the larger records. In this case, the larger records are returned. You can set this property to be false, as well; in which case, all of the spatially related methods would ignore anything that is currently in the transaction buffer waiting to be committed. In such a case, only after committing the transaction would the FeatureSource reflect the changes.

==== IsOpenCore ====
This property returns true if the FeatureSource is open and false if it is not.
=== Remarks ===
Various methods on the FeatureSource require that it be in an open state. If one of those methods is called when the state is not open, then the method will throw an exception. To enter the open state, you must call the FeatureSource's Open method. The method will raise an exception if the current FeatureSource is already open.

===== Public Events =====
==== ClosedFeatureSource ====
This event is called after the closing of the FeatureSource.
=== Remarks ===
This event is called after the closing of the FeatureSource. Technically, this event is called after the calling of the Close method on the FeatureSource and after the protected CloseCore method.

It is typical that the FeatureSource may be opened and closed may times during the life cycle of your application. The type of control the MapEngine is embedded in will dictate how often this happens. For example, in the case of the Web Edition, each time a FeatureSource is in the Ajax or Post Back part of the page cycle, it will close the FeatureSource before returning back to the client. This is to conserve resources, as the web is a connection-less environment. In the case of the Desktop Edition, we can keep the FeaureSources open, knowing that we can maintain a persistent connection.

This event is called before the closing of the FeatureSource. Technically, this event is called after the calling of the Close method on the FeatureSource, but before the protected CloseCore method.

==== CommittedTransaction ====
This event is raised after the CommitTransaction and the CommitTransactionCore are called and allows you access to the TransactionBuffer and the TransactionResults object before CommitTransaction method is returned.
=== Remarks ===
This event is raised after the CommitTransactionCore is called and allows you access to the TransactionBuffer and the TransactionResults object before CommitTransaction method is returned.

With this event, you can analyse the results of the transaction and do any cleanup code necessary. In the event some of the records did not commit, you can handle those items here. The TransactionResults object is passed out of the CommitTransaction method so you could analyze it then; however, this is the only place where you have access to both the TransactionResults object and the TransactionBuffer object at the same time. These are useful together to try and determine what went wrong and possibly try and re-commit them.

At the time of this event you will technically be out of the current transaction.

==== CommittingTransaction ====
This event is raised after the CommitTransaction method is called, but before the CommitTransactionCore is called. This allows you access to the TransactionBuffer before the transaction is committed. It also allows you to cancel the pending commit of the transaction.
=== Remarks ===
This event is raised before the CommitTransactionCore is called and allows you access to the TransactionBuffer before the transaction is committed. It also allows you to cancel the pending transaction. The TransactionBuffer is the object that stores all of the pending transactions and is accessible through this event to allow you to either add, remove or modify transactions.

In the event that you cancel the CommitTransaction method, the transaction remains intact and you will still be editing. This makes it a nice place to possibly check for connectivity before the TransactionCore code is run, which is where the records are actually committed. Calling the RollBackTransaction method is the only way to permanently cancel a pending transaction without committing it.

==== CustomColumnFetch ====
This event is raised when fields are requested in a feature source method that do not exist in the feature source. It allows you to supplement the data from any outside source you have.
=== Remarks ===
This event is raised when fields are requested in a feature source method that do not exist in the feature source. It allows you to supplement the data from any outside source you have.

It is used primarily when you have data relating to a particular feature or set of features that is not within source of the data. For example, you may have a shape file of the world whose .dbf component describes the area and population of each country. Additionally, in an outside SQL Server table, you may also have data about the countries, and it is this data that you wish to use for determining how you want to color each country.

To integrate this SQL data, you simply create a file name that does not exist in the .dbf file. Whenever Map Suite is queried to return records that specifically require this field, the FeatureSource will raise this event and allow you the developer to supply the data. In this way, you can query the SQL table and store the data in some sort of collection, and then when the event is raised, simply supply that data.

As this is an event, it will raise for each feature and field combination requested. This means that the event can be raised quite often, and we suggest that you cache the data you wish to supply in memory. We recommend against sending out a new SQL query each time this event is raised. Image that you are supplementing two columns and your query returns 2,000 rows. This means that if you requested those fields, the event would be raised 4,000 times.
