The IFeatureCursor interface provides access to a set of features in a feature class. It operates in the same way as ICursor, although it does not inherit from that interface. This saves you from having to use Query-Interface when dealing with features rather than rows.
Feature cursors can be used as an input to IFeatureCursorBuffer, which lets you spatially buffer the features by a distance.
You can also draw the features from a cursor on the display. For more information, see the IFeatureRenderer::Draw method.
When using cursors within an edit session, they should always be scoped to edit operations. In other words, a cursor should be created after an edit operation has begun and should not be used once that edit operation has been stopped or aborted.
