INetworkDataset Interface

Provides access to members that query the schema of the network dataset.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

CoClasses that implement INetworkDataset

CoClasses and Classes	Description
NetworkDataset	A container for querying information about a network dataset.

Remarks

A NetworkDataset is a collection of feature classes that participate in a network relationship. Each feature class has a topological role in the network and a network may have multiple feature classes in the same role. A feature dataset may have multiple networks but a feature class can only belong to one network, either a network dataset or geometric network. A Feature class in the network dataset is called a network source. Network datasets may also have attributes which are used for solving against a network dataset. Network dataset sources can also participate within a Topology.

The IDatasetContainer2 interface should be used for creating and opening network datasets. The INetworkBuild interface should be used for adding or removing sources or attributes from a network dataset and for building a network dataset.
