The field type for a network analyst class field.
[Visual Basic .NET]
Public Function get_FieldType ( _
ByVal FieldName As String _
) As Integer
[C#]
public int get_FieldType (
string FieldName
);
[C++]
HRESULT get_FieldType(
BSTR FieldName,
System.Int32* naFieldType
);
[C++] Parameters FieldName [in]
FieldName is a parameter of type BSTR naFieldType [out, retval]
naFieldType is a parameter of type long*
FieldType specifies how the field is to be used by returning a combination of bits defined in esriNAFieldType.
The valid values for this property are 0 - 63. Each bit represents one of the enumeration settings in esriNAFieldType.
Thus, if a field is used for input to the solver, but is not editable (e.g. the Status field) the FieldType would be esriNAFieldTypeInput + esriNAFieldTypeNotEditable which would equal 9.
This C# example shows how you can programatically retrieve the FieldType and perform bitwise calculations to determine the type.
public void ShowFieldType(INAClass naClass)
{
// Get the class definition
INAClassDefinition naClassDefinition = naClass.ClassDefinition;
// Loop though the FieldType for each Field
string fieldName;
int fieldType;
for (int i = 0; i < naClassDefinition.Fields.FieldCount; i++)
{
fieldName = naClassDefinition.Fields.get_Field(i).Name;
fieldType = naClassDefinition.get_FieldType(fieldName);
// Output the fieldName, the fieldType value, and the string of what the fieldType means.
Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1} - {2}", fieldName, fieldType, ConvertFieldTypeToString(fieldType));
}
}
private string ConvertFieldTypeToString(int fieldTypeInt)
{
string fieldTypes = string.Empty;
esriNAFieldType fieldType = (esriNAFieldType)fieldTypeInt;
if ((fieldType & esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeInput) == esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeInput)
fieldTypes += ",esriNAFieldTypeInput"; // It is an Input Field
if ((fieldType & esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeOutput) == esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeOutput)
fieldTypes += ",esriNAFieldTypeOutput"; // It is an Output Field
if ((fieldType & esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeNotVisible) == esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeNotVisible)
fieldTypes += ",esriNAFieldTypeNotVisible"; // The field is Not Visible (and not shown in the NAWindow)
if ((fieldType & esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeNotEditable) == esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeNotEditable)
fieldTypes += ",esriNAFieldTypeNotEditable"; // The field is Not Editable (and can not be edited using the Network Location Properties Window)
if ((fieldType & esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeSequence) == esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeSequence)
fieldTypes += ",esriNAFieldTypeSequence"; // The field type is Sequence
if ((fieldType & esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeGroup) == esriNAFieldType.esriNAFieldTypeGroup)
fieldTypes += ",esriNAFieldTypeGroup"; // The field type is Group
if (fieldTypes != string.Empty)
fieldTypes = fieldTypes.Substring(1);
return fieldTypes;
}
