LayerIsCompatibleWithRulePackage Method

Checks the compatibility of the rule package geometry with the feature layer shape type for use as a renderer. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public bool LayerIsCompatibleWithRulePackage( 
   string rulePackagePath,
   FeatureLayer featureLayer
)

Public Function LayerIsCompatibleWithRulePackage( _
   ByVal rulePackagePath As String, _
   ByVal featureLayer As FeatureLayer _
) As Boolean

Parameters

rulePackagePath: The full path to the rule package
featureLayer: The layer to check the compatibility of the rule package against

Return Value

True if the geometry type of the rule package matches the geometry type of the layer

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
System.IO.FileNotFoundException	{rulePackagePath} not found or is inaccessible
System.NotSupportedException	Cannot use rule packages that create leaf shapes with procedural symbols.
System.ArgumentException	Invalid layer geometry type.
System.ArgumentException	Procedural symbol cannot be applied to rasterized feature layers. Feature layers that are in the 2D Layers group in the Contents pane are rasterized

Remarks

Checks:

The rule package is supported (geometry output type must be combined shape)
The output geometry of the features (in the feature layer) is one of "Point | Polygon | Multi-path"
The feature layer is not flattened (i.e. Procedural symbols cannot be applied to feature layers that are in the 2D Layers group. They will be rasterized. Procedural symbols can only be applied to layers in the 3D Layers group
The input geometry type of the rule package matches the geometry type of the layer

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7
