Gets a SortedList of the all the value/name pairs which make up the contents of the domain.

Namespace:  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Data

Assembly:  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer (in ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.dll) Version: 2.0.0.1500 (2.0.0.1500)

Syntax

C#
public SortedList<Object, string> GetCodedValuePairs()
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Function GetCodedValuePairs As SortedList(Of Object, String)

Return Value

A SortedList object consisting of value/name pairs, representing the contents of the Domain.

Remarks

Care needs to be taken not to confuse the contents of the SortedList as it stores the domain contents as a list of Keys and a list of Values. The Keys list stores all the domain values, whereas the Values list stores all the descriptive names.

Examples

The code below returns the Domain associated with a Column in a geodatabase feature class using the GetDomain method then prints out the all the value/name pairs using the GetCodedValuePairs method.
CopyC#
Table tanks = Table.OpenFileGeodatabaseTable(@"C:\Data\Montgomery.gdb", "tanks");

//check that the "AncillaryRole" column of the "tanks" feature class has a Domain and
//that the Table is not subtyped (i.e there can only be a single Domain defined for this column). 
if ((tanks.Columns["AncillaryRole"].HasDomain) && (tanks.IsSubtyped == false))
{
  //return the Domain
  Domain domain = tanks.Columns["AncillaryRole"].GetDomain();

  //check the Domain type
  if (domain.Type == DomainType.CodedValue)
  {
    CodedValueDomain cvDom = domain as CodedValueDomain;

    //Print the Domain name
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(cvDom.Name);   //Prints "AncillaryRoleDomain"

    //Print out all the contents of the domain
    for (int i = 0; i < cvDom.GetCodedValuePairs().Count -1; i++)
    {
      string domainInfo  = string.Format("Value: {0}, Name: {1}",cvDom.GetCodedValuePairs().Keys[i].ToString(),
                                                                 cvDom.GetCodedValuePairs().Values[i].ToString());
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(domainInfo);
