    ExecuteAsync() Method
    In This Topic
    Executes the Edit, modifying the database using the instructions given to the EditOperation. Returns true upon success and false upon failure.
    Syntax
    public Task<bool> ExecuteAsync()
    Public Function ExecuteAsync() As Task(Of Boolean)

    Return Value

    A task representing the EditOperation that will result in a success or failure.
    Remarks
    An EditOperation will fail execution if it detects that there are no edits that produce database changes. This can include a Modify edit that doesn't change any field values. Prior to calling ExecuteAsync you should check the IsEmpty to determine if there is work to be done.
    Example
    Edit Operation - check for actions before Execute
    // Some times when using EditOperation.Modify you can unknowingly be attempting to set
    //  an attribute to value 
    //  setting 
    // In this scenario the Modify action will detect that nothing is required
    // and do nothing. Because no actions have occurred, the
    // Consequently the Execute operation will fail. 
    if (!opEdit.IsEmpty)
      opEdit.Execute();
    
    Edit Operation Create Features
    var createFeatures = new EditOperation() { Name = "Create Features" };
    //Create a feature with a polygon
    var token = createFeatures.Create(featureLayer, polygon);
    if (createFeatures.IsSucceeded)
    {
      // token.ObjectID wll be populated with the objectID of the created feature after Execute has been successful
    }
    //Do a create features and set attributes
    var attributes = new Dictionary<string, object>();
    attributes.Add("SHAPE", polygon);
    attributes.Add("NAME", "Corner Market");
    attributes.Add("SIZE", 1200.5);
    attributes.Add("DESCRIPTION", "Corner Market");
    
    createFeatures.Create(featureLayer, attributes);
    
    //Create features using the current template
    //Must be within a MapTool
    createFeatures.Create(this.CurrentTemplate, polygon);
    
    //Execute to execute the operation
    //Must be called within QueuedTask.Run
    
    if (!createFeatures.IsEmpty)
    {
      createFeatures.Execute(); //Execute will return true if the operation was successful and false if not.
    }
    
    //or use async flavor
    //await createFeatures.ExecuteAsync();
