IConversionOp.ToRasterDataset Method

Convert to a RasterDataset.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function ToRasterDataset ( _
    ByVal dataset As IGeoDataset, _
    ByVal rasterFormat As String, _
    ByVal pWorkspace As IWorkspace, _
    ByVal name As String _
) As IRasterDataset

[C#]
public IRasterDataset ToRasterDataset (
    IGeoDataset dataset,
    string rasterFormat,
    IWorkspace pWorkspace,
    string name
);

[C++]
HRESULT ToRasterDataset(
  IGeoDataset* dataset,
  BSTR rasterFormat,
  IWorkspace* pWorkspace,
  BSTR name
);

[C++]

Parameters
dataset [in]

  dataset is a parameter of type IGeoDataset*
rasterFormat [in]

  rasterFormat is a parameter of type BSTR
pWorkspace [in]

  pWorkspace is a parameter of type IWorkspace*
name [in]

  name is a parameter of type BSTR

Product Availability

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

Remarks

dataset

Input featureclass, featureclassdescriptor, featurelayer to be converted to raster

rasterFormat

ESRI GRID, ERDAS Imagine, Personal Geodatabase, TIFF, and File Geodatabase, raster are supported formats.

The format strings for rasterformat parameter are case sensitive and are as follows,

  • �GRID� - creates an output ESRI GRID with no file extension
  • "TIFF" - creates a TIFF file with ".tif" extension. ArcGIS also supports TIFF format with ".tiff" and ".tff" extensions. A format string "TIF" creates a TIFF file with ".tiff" extention and a format string "TFF" creates a TIFF file with ".tff" extension
  • �IMAGINE Image� - creates a raster output with �.img� file extension and also supports personal geodatabase raster
  • "FGDB" - creates a file geodatabase raster

pWorkspace

an object specifying the directory or subdirectory to contain the output rasterdataset

name

The name of the output raster dataset
