Example

Getting a Table Definition from a Layer

// GetDefinitionFromLayer - This code works even if the layer has a join to another table
private TableDefinition GetDefinitionFromLayer(FeatureLayer featureLayer)
{
    // Get feature class from the layer
    FeatureClass featureClass = featureLayer.GetFeatureClass();

    // Determine if feature class is a join
    if (featureClass.IsJoinedTable())
    {
        // Get join from feature class
        Join join = featureClass.GetJoin();

        // Get origin table from join
        Table originTable = join.GetOriginTable();

        // Return feature class definition from the join's origin table
        return originTable.GetDefinition();
    }
    else
    {
        return featureClass.GetDefinition();
    }
}
