Display field properties for a feature class


Purpose This sample displays information about the fields of a feature class. It uses the following information:

Location to an input dataset

Name of the input dataset


How to use

See How to use ArcGIS samples for help running the sample.

  1. Run the application. Since this is a command-line application, you can use Ant to run it, you can execute its Java Archive (JAR) file from the command line, or you can use your integrated development environment (IDE) to compile and run it. As with all other samples, this application requires no arguments to run.
  2. This application consumes a source shapefile and prints the shapefile's feature class information, including dataset name, feature type, geometry type, and field metadata.
