Working in C#
I have been working with arcObjects and researching connecting to a geodatabase. I already have a working .SDE file created. Again, my lack of understanding and the convolution from the ArcGIS resource center is causing me confusion. I am not sure where to start exactly. I have bits and pieces as far as understanding.
I believe I must start with an IFeatureWorkspace. From this I am supposed to use sdeWorkspaceFactoryClass, correct? I was going to use a line of code as follows:
where "m_ReadOnlyWorkspace" is my created workspace and "nameOfFile" is my sde file. Should my "nameOfFile" variable be the entire path to the .SDE file or just the name of the file?
Once I am able to make this line work, I should be [connected] to the database and able to run a query from a table correct? Am I missing any intermediate steps in the process?
Any help or insight on these issues / questions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
