IConfigurationKeyword Interface

Provides access to members to supply information about configuration keywords.

Description

This interface is used for retrieving the properties of a configuration keyword.

When To Use

Use the IConfigurationKeyword interface to get information about a configuration keyword. For example, through this interface, you can retrieve a name, description and the set of configuration parameters that this keyword represents.

IConfigurationKeyword.Comments Property

Any additional comments about the keyword.

Public Property Comments As String

public string Comments {get; set;}

IConfigurationKeyword.Comments Property

Any additional comments about the keyword.

Public Property Comments As String

public string Comments {get; set;}

IConfigurationKeyword.ConfigurationParameters Property

Configuration parameters included in this keyword.

Public ReadOnly Property ConfigurationParameters As IEnumConfigurationParameter

public IEnumConfigurationParameter ConfigurationParameters {get;}

Remarks

Configuration keywords in an ArcSDE or File geodatabase are used to specify storage parameters for feature class, tables and geometric networks. These storage parameters can be accessed through the IConfigurationParametersinterface. This method returns a collection of parameters for a configuration keyword.

IConfigurationKeyword.Description Property

The description of the keyword.

Public Property Description As String

public string Description {get; set;}

IConfigurationKeyword.Description Property

The description of the keyword.

Public Property Description As String

public string Description {get; set;}

IConfigurationKeyword.KeywordType Property

The type of the keyword.

Public Property KeywordType As esriConfigurationKeywordType

public esriConfigurationKeywordType KeywordType {get; set;}

IConfigurationKeyword.KeywordType Property

The type of the keyword.

Public Property KeywordType As esriConfigurationKeywordType

public esriConfigurationKeywordType KeywordType {get; set;}

IConfigurationKeyword.Name Property

The name of the keyword.

Remarks

Configuration keywords are used in an ArcSDE or File geodatabase to specify storage parameters for new tables, feature classes, and other datasets such as geometric networks, topologies, and terrains when they are created. Configuration keywords can be of several different types:

• esriConfigurationKeywordGeneral which references storage parameters for creating feature classes and tables
• esriConfigurationKeywordNetwork which references storage parameters for creating geometric networks
• esriConfigurationKeywordTopology which references storage parameters for creating topologies
• esriConfigurationKeywordTerrain which references storage parameters for creating terrain datasets
• esriConfigurationKeywordNetworkDatasets which reference storage parameters for creating network datasets

The following are examples of some of the methods that accept configuration keywords. These methods do not require an IConfigurationKeyword parameter, but can accept a configuration keyword as a string:

• IFeatureWorkspace.CreateFeatureClass

• IFeatureWorkspace.CreateTable

• IFeatureDataset.CreateFeatureClass

• IClassSchemaEdit.RergisterAsObjectClass

• IFeatureDataConverter.ConvertFeatureClass
