View and Edit attributes pages

The Windows application framework exposes several classes that aid in the retrieval and management of attribute data stored as records or rows in a feature layer. Conceptually, there are two entities: feature and feature attribute. A feature represents a single record or row stored in a feature layer and is implemented by the Feature class. A feature attribute represents some property (or attribute) about a given feature and is implemented by the FeatureAttribute (abstract) class. The DataColumnFeatureAttribute class represents a single column in a feature data row, and PictureFeatureAttribute, which derives from DataColumnFeatureAttribute, represents a feature data row column whose data type is an image.

Feature attribute controls

The application uses two controls to display and edit a feature's attributes: ViewFeatureAttributesControl and EditFeatureAttributesPage.

• ViewFeatureAttributesPage presents a read-only view of a collection of feature attributes.
• EditFeatureAttributesPage provides a way to edit the values of a collection of feature attributes along with the feature geometry.
