[GIS] Working with temporary files in ArcObjects using Geodatabases

arcgis-10.0esri-geodatabase

My current add-ons rely on shapefiles for working with temporary files. For example, if I run a spatial analyst tool, I create a new shapefile to store the output geometry. ArcGIS stores all temporary files in a default GDB. Can someone point me in the direction of some .NET code or resources that would help me to structure my temporary file handling in the same way? It would be nice to have everything in one GDB that could be cleared, rather than in a folder containing many shapefiles and rasters.

You might try using a scratch workspace or an inmemoryworkspace.

Look at the very bottom of the list of objects that implement IGxObjectFilter

Create instances of RasterFormatFGDBFilter, RasterFormatPGDBFilter and RasterFormatSDEFilter and add them to your IGxObjectFilterCollection. This will enable Rasters inside GDBs. If you want to allow other FeatureClasses to be opened look at the list and also add those filters.

You can do it with the geoprocessor (add using ESRI.ArcGIS.Geoprocessor; and using ESRI.ArcGIS.DataManagementTools; to your class file).

            //Initialize GeoProcessor
            Geoprocessor geoProcessor = new Geoprocessor();

            //Create file geodatabase 
            CreateFileGDB createFileGDB = new CreateFileGDB();
            createFileGDB.out_folder_path = @"c:\temp";
            createFileGDB.out_name = "chickens";
            createFileGDB.out_version = "9.3";

            geoProcessor.Execute(createFileGDB, null);
