Provides access to members that control the behavior and properties of a feature class.
Product Availability
Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.
When To Use
The IFeatureClass interface is the main interface for getting and setting properties of a feature class. For example, use the IFeatureClass interface to get the type of feature class, get a count of features that satisfy some query, or create a new feature in the feature class. The IFeatureClass interface inherits from the IObjectClass interface.
