);

[C++]
HRESULT NextFeature(
  IFeature** Object
);

Object [out, retval]
  Object is a parameter of type IFeature

Product Availability

Remarks

If you fetch features out of a geodatabase using a cursor (recycling or non recycling), the spatial reference of the feature, as returned by NextFeature, is guaranteed to be in the spatial reference that you specified in the query filter .

No guarantee however is made that the geometry of the feature will continue to remain in this spatial reference. In particular, if you use a non recycling cursor, then the feature you fetch will be shared with other consumers and any one of these may change its spatial reference at any time. It is the developers responsibility to test the spatial reference or the geometry you get from the feature (via IFeature::Shape) if you retrieve the geometry at a later time and rely on its spatial reference being a specified spatial reference.
