Remarks

GetFeatures will return an IFeatureCursor which contains the features from the feature class with the parameter-specified Object IDs (OID). This method can be used to loop through a particular set of features with known Object IDs.

Calling the GetFeatures method from the IFeatureClass interface has the same effect as calling the GetRows method from the ITable interface except that the return value is an IFeatureCursor reference, rather than an ICursor reference.

The fids parameter should be provided with an integer array. If the array contains an invalid Object ID, no error will occur, and no feature will be retrieved for the value.

This method should not be called from .NET or Java applications. Instead, call IGeoDatabaseBridge.GetFeatures.
