Classes that implement IConfigurationKeyword

Remarks

Configuration keywords are used in an ArcSDE or File geodatabase to specify storage parameters for new tables, feature classes and other datasets such as geometric networks, topologies and terrains when they are created. Configuration keywords can be of several different types:

• esriConfigurationKeywordGeneral which references storage parameters for creating feature classes and tables
• esriConfigurationKeywordNetwork which reference storage parameters for creating geometric networks
• esriConfigurationKeywordTopology which reference storage parameters for creating topologies
• esriConfigurationKeywordTerrain which reference storage parameters for creating terrain datasets
• esriConfigurationKeywordNetworkDatasets which reference storage parameters for creating network datasets

The following are examples of some of the methods that accept configuration keywords. These methods do not require an IConfigurationKeyword parameter, but can accept a configuration keyword as a string:

IFeatureWorkspace.CreateFeatureClass
IFeatureWorkspace.CreateTable
IFeatureDataset.CreateFeatureClass
IClassSchemaEdit.RergisterAsObjectClass
IFeatureDataConverter.ConvertFeatureClass
