Description

The Changed method returns whether or not the geometry has been modified. If the geometry always stays in memory that method only returns 'false' immediately after its creation. However if the shape came from disk the Changed method will return 'false' until de geometry is modified in memory.

[C#]

    //This example demonstrates how to use the Changed method
    private void Changed_Example()
    {
        IEnvelope envelope=new EnvelopeClass();
        envelope.PutCoords(0, 0, 20, 20);
        ISegmentCollection segmentCollection=new PolygonClass();
        segmentCollection.SetRectangle(envelope);
        IGeometry4 geometry=segmentCollection as IGeometry4;
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Just after creation : " + geometry.Changed);
        segmentCollection.SetRectangle(envelope);
        System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Just after modification : " + geometry.Changed);
    }
