Provides access to members for managing a PropertySet.
Description
The IPropertySet interface contains methods to set and retrieve the collection of named value pairs in the PropertySet.
Members
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 |
Count | The number of properties contained in the property set. |
 |
GetAllProperties | The name and value of all the properties in the property set. |
|
GetProperties | The values of the specified properties. |
|
GetProperty | The value of the specified property. |
|
IsEqual | True if the property set is the same as the input property set. |
|
RemoveProperty | Removes a property from the set. |
|
SetProperties | The values of the specified properties. |
|
SetProperty | The value of the specified property. |
IPropertySet.Count Property
The number of properties contained in the property set.
Public ReadOnly Property Count As Integer
public int Count {get;}
Remarks
The Countvalue will always be one when used with the esriGeodatabase.XmlPropertySet coclass. For more information, see the remarks for the XmlPropertySet coclass.
IPropertySet.GetAllProperties Method
The name and value of all the properties in the property set.
Public Sub GetAllProperties ( _
    ByRef names As Object, _
    ByRef values As Object _
)
public void GetAllProperties (
    ref object names,
    ref object values
);
Remarks
The GetAllPropertiesretrieves all names and values in the property set.
IPropertySet.GetProperties Method
The values of the specified properties.
Public Sub GetProperties ( _
    ByVal names As Object, _
    ByRef values As Object _
)
public void GetProperties (
    object names,
    ref object values
);
Remarks
The GetPropertiesmethod returns values from a PropertySetCoClass.
public Object GetServerProperty(IServerEnvironment3 server, string propertyName="ExtensionName")
{
 Object propertyValue = null;
 IPropertySet serverProps = server.Properties;
 propertyValue = serverProps.GetProperty(propertyName);
 return propertyValue;
}
IPropertySet.GetProperty Method
The value of the specified property.
Public Function GetProperty ( _
    ByVal Name As String _
) As Object
public object GetProperty (
    string Name
);
IPropertySet.IsEqual Method
True if the property set is the same as the input property set.
Public Function IsEqual ( _
    ByVal PropertySet As IPropertySet _
) As Boolean
public bool IsEqual (
    IPropertySet PropertySet
);
Remarks
This method indicates whether two property sets are equal.
Note that it will always return false if the property set is an esriGeodatabase.XmlPropertySet (for metadata). See the XmlPropertySet coclass' documentation for more information.
IPropertySet.RemoveProperty Method
Removes a property from the set.
Public Sub RemoveProperty ( _
    ByVal Name As String _
)
public void RemoveProperty (
    string Name
);
IPropertySet.SetProperties Method
The values of the specified properties.
Public Sub SetProperties ( _
    ByVal names As Object, _
    ByVal values As Object _
)
public void SetProperties (
    object names,
    object values
);
Remarks
Using the Nameparameter to locate the specified element, the SetProperties method populates the elements, or adds an new element if it already exists, and sets the value to the coorseponding Valuesparameter.
The Name parameter uses XSL Patterns to specify metadata elements. Additional information on XSL can be found in the the IXmlPropertySet documentation.
esriXmlSetPropertyAction constants are NOT available to handle situations where an element value already exists. Upon encountering elements that already have values, the new values will replace or add values to existing elements. For more control dealing with elements the IXmlPropertySet::SetPropertyX should be used.
In order to populated nodes further along in the Xml tree, nodes necessary to navigate must first be established. For instance in order to populate the "idinfo/ptcontact/cntinfo/cntperp/cntorg" node each subsequent nodes, "idinfo", "idinfo/ptcontact", "idinfo/ptcontact/cntinfo" and "idinfo/ptcontact/cntinfo/cntperp" must already be in place.
IPropertySet.SetProperty Method
The value of the specified property.
Public Sub SetProperty ( _
    ByVal Name As String, _
    ByVal Value As Object _
)
public void SetProperty (
    string Name,
    object Value
);
Remarks
The Name parameter uses XSL Patterns to specify metadata elements. Additional information on XSL can be found in the the IXmlPropertySet documentation.
Classes that implement IPropertySet
| Classes | Description |
|---|---|
| PropertySet | Esri Property Set object. |
| RasterFunctionTemplateArguments (esriDataSourcesRaster) | A class for template function arguments. |
| XmlPropertySet (esriGeoDatabase) | Esri XML PropertySet object. |
Remarks
PropertySet is a generic class that is used to hold a set of properties for anything. One example for the use of a property set is to hold the properties required for opening up an SDE workspace as is shown in the example code.
Typically a property set can be thought of as a set of keys (strings) and values (variants/objects). One notable exception to this is when using the IPropertySet interface on an XmlPropertySet object. An XML document can contain multiple elements with the same name (i.e. "property/child") and different values. Because of this, the values returned by this interface from an XmlPropertySet may be jagged two-dimensional arrays (arrays containing other arrays). See the XmlPropertySet coclass' documentation in the Geodatabase library for more details and code examples.
public Object GetServerProperty(string propertyName)
{
 Type envMgrType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("esriSystem.EnvironmentManager");
 object envMgrObj = Activator.CreateInstance(envMgrType);
 IEnvironmentManager envMgr = envMgrObj as IEnvironmentManager;
 UID envUID = new UIDClass();
 envUID.Value = "{32D4C328-E473-4615-922C-63C108F55E60}";
 IServerEnvironment2 serverEnvironment = (IServerEnvironment2)envMgr.GetEnvironment(envUID);
 IPropertySet serverProps = serverEnvironment.Properties;
 object propertyValue = serverProps.GetProperty(propertyName);
 return propertyValue;
