CreateInsertCursor Method

In This Topic

Creates an InsertCursor instance in memory. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public InsertCursor CreateInsertCursor()

Public Function CreateInsertCursor() As InsertCursor

Return Value

A InsertCursor used to quickly insert rows.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.Data.Exceptions.GeodatabaseException	A geodatabase-related exception has occurred.

Remarks

When used in an ArcGIS Pro add-in, insert cursors should be used within an edit operation callback. For stand-alone CoreHost applications, calls to this method (and use of the insert cursor) should be enclosed within a call to Geodatabase.ApplyEdits.

Example

Using an Insert Cursor

// Insert Cursors are intended for use in CoreHost applications, not Pro Add-ins
public void UsingInsertCursor()
{
    using (Geodatabase geodatabase = new Geodatabase(new DatabaseConnectionFile(new Uri("path\\to\\sde\\file"))))
    using (Table citiesTable = geodatabase.OpenDataset<Table>("name\\of\\cities_table"))
    {
        geodatabase.ApplyEdits(() =>
        {
            using (InsertCursor insertCursor = citiesTable.CreateInsertCursor())
            using (RowBuffer rowBuffer = citiesTable.CreateRowBuffer())
            {
                rowBuffer["State"] = "Colorado";

                rowBuffer["Name"] = "Fort Collins";
                rowBuffer["Population"] = 167830;
                insertCursor.Insert(rowBuffer);

                rowBuffer["Name"] = "Denver";
                rowBuffer["Population"] = 727211;
                insertCursor.Insert(rowBuffer);

                // Insert more rows here
                // A more realistic example would be reading source data from a file

                insertCursor.Flush();
            }
        });
    }
}
