Remarks

The CanCopy, CanDelete, and CanRename properties are meant to be used in conjunction with the Copy, Delete, and Rename methods and signify whether a dataset is supported by these methods.  For example, you may not delete a network feature class nor can you use the Copy method on a Geodatabase feature class.  To copy Geodatabase datasets, including feature classes, geometric networks, topologies, etc., use the IGeoDBDataTransfer interface.

The CanCopy method is supported by:

• CAD Drawings
• Coverages
• DBase Tables
• Info Tables
• Raster Datasets
• SDC datasets
• SDC Network Datasets
• Shapefiles
• Shapefile Network Datasets
