Gets the geometry stored in the SHAPE column for the Row. This property only applies to geodatabase feature classes and shapefiles which are capable of storing vector data.

Namespace:  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Data
Assembly:  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer (in ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.dll) Version: 2.0.0.900 (2.0.0.900)

Syntax

C#
public Geometry Geometry { get; }
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property Geometry As Geometry

Field Value

A Geometry object which represents the shape of the feature. This property only applies when IsSpatial is true.

Remarks

This is a convenience property which avoids the need to access the SHAPE column in the RowValueCollection by name or by index position.

Examples

The code below accesses the properties associated with a Row object, including the geometry stored in the SHAPE column.
CopyC#
//Open Montgomery file geodatabase
Geodatabase gdb = new Geodatabase(@"C:\Data\Montgomery.gdb");

//Open the parcels featureclass
Table parcels = gdb.OpenTable("parcels");

//Get a single parcel by property ID
Row row = parcels.Search(new Filter("PROPERTY_I = 4704")).GetFirst();

//Print out some properties of the row
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(row.HasObjectIDColumn.ToString());   //Prints "True"
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(row.ObjectID.ToString());            //Prints "3704"
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(row.Table.Name);                     //Prints "parcels"

//Get the area of this parcel
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(row.Values[parcels.Columns.AreaColumnName].ToString()); //Prints "12815.4"

//Return the geometry of the parcel from the row
Polygon poly = row.Geometry as Polygon;

//Call ToString() on the polygon to print summary geometry information
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(poly.ToString());    //Prints "Polygon: Point count = 7 Ring count = 1"

//Get the area of this parcel from the geometry
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(poly.Area.ToString());               //Prints "12815.4"
