IRelationshipClassContainer Interface

Provides access to members that create, add and hand out relationship classes.

Product Availability

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

Description

The IRelationshipClassContainer interface lets you create a relationship class within a feature dataset rather than a workspace.

When To Use

The IRelationshipClassContainer interface lets you create a relationship class within a feature dataset rather than a workspace. The AddRelationshipClass method is effectively superseded by IDatasetContainer::AddDataset.

Remarks

The AddRelationshipClass method is effectively superseded by IDatasetContainer::AddDataset. The IDatasetContainer interface lets you move datasets between feature datasets and workspaces�both objects implement the interface.

[C#]

    public void MoveDataset(IFeatureDataset featureDataset, IDataset dataset, Boolean requiredStandAlone)
    {
        //This function moves a dataset (for example, a feature class or relationship class)
        //from a feature dataset to being standalone in a workspace, or vice versa.
        IDatasetContainer datasetContainer;
        if (requiredStandAlone)
        {
            datasetContainer = featureDataset.Workspace as IDatasetContainer;
        }
        else
        {
            datasetContainer = featureDataset as IDatasetContainer;
        }
        datasetContainer.AddDataset(dataset);
    }
