Accessing a raster dataset in a raster catalog


Summary
This topic shows how to access a raster dataset in a raster catalog. The method is similar to accessing a feature in a feature class.

About accessing a raster dataset in a raster catalog

To access a raster dataset in a raster catalog, see the following code:
[C#]
Public IRasterDataset GetRasterCatalogItem(IRasterCatalog catalog, int oid)
{
    //OID is the ObjectID of the raster dataset in the raster catalog.
    IFeatureClass featureClass=(IFeatureClass)catalog;
    IRasterCatalogItem rasterCatalogItem=(IRasterCatalogItem)
        featureClass.GetFeature(oid);
    return rasterCatalogItem.RasterDataset;
}
[VB.NET]
Public Function GetRasterCatalogItem(ByVal catalog As IRasterCatalog, ByVal oid As Integer) As IRasterDataset
    'OID is the ObjectID of the raster dataset in the raster catalog.
    Dim featureClass As IFeatureClass=CType(catalog, IFeatureClass)
    Dim rasterCatalogItem As IRasterCatalogItem=CType(featureClass.GetFeature(oid), IRasterCatalogItem)
    Return rasterCatalogItem.RasterDataset
End Function
