Note: The page was created before Map Suite 10. Map Suite 10.0 organized many classes into new namespaces and assemblies as well as had a few minor breaks in compatibility. The majority of previously built code should work without modification assuming the new namespaces are added. For guidance on upgrading your existing code, please check out MapSuite 10 Upgrade Guide.

<!– Structure –> The class Feature is the basic unit of which a FeatureSource is composed. A FeatureSource can be taken from a collection of Features stored in a ShapeFile, SQL Server 2008, Oracle, etc.A Feature is the basic data unit structure which is comprised of IDs that mark the identification of the Feature, a shape and a collection of data.

IsValid()

This method returns the results of some simple validity tests on the Feature.

Remarks

This method is used primarily to ensure that a Feature is valid. The reason is, since this is a structure, we cannot control the main constructor that allows you to create a Feature in an invalid state – that state being one with no well-known binary at its core. If you use the constructure set provided, then the state should always be valid. This is a property you may want to check before you work with a Feature.

Return Value

Return Type Description
Boolean<!– System.Boolean –> This method returns the results of some simple validity tests on the Feature.

Parameters

Name Type Description

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.Feature –> Go Back

Public Properties

ColumnValues

This property gets a dictionary of values to represent the column data related to this Feature.

Remarks

This property holds the column data related to this Feature. You can find the values in the dictionary using the column name as the key. Most methods that query and return InternalFeatures allow you to specify which columns of data you want returned with the results. You can also freely add and modify the data, as it is simply an in-memory dictionary. Any values added, deleted or updated will have no effect unless the Feature is part of a transaction.

Return Value

Return Type
Dictionary<String,String><!– System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary{System.String,System.String} –>

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.Feature –> Go Back

Id

This property gets the Id for the Feature.

Remarks

The Id is a string that represents the unique identifier for this Feature. If the feature is returned from a FeatureSource, the Id will be the unique field descriptor used by the FeatureSource. For Shape Files this may be an integer, but for spatial databases the Id may be a GUID.

Return Value

Return Type
String<!– System.String –>

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.Feature –> Go Back
