Interface IGPUtilities

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Subinterfaces:

IGPUtilities2, IGPUtilities3

All Known Implementing Classes:

GPUtilities

public interface IGPUtilities
extends Serializable

Provides access to the properties/methods of a geoprocessing utilities object.

Superseded By

IGPUtilities2

Remarks

The IGPUtilities interface provides access to the GPUtilities object which contains many useful helper methods and properties to provide easier access to other ArcObjects. For example, the OpenFeatureClassFromString method can create an IFeatureClass object by simply providing the ArcCatalog path as a string.

The GPUtilities object is mainly intended for developers building custom tools. For more information about building custom tools, refer to the technical document Building Geoprocessing Function Tools .
