Interface INetworkAttribute2

All Superinterfaces:

INetworkAttribute, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

EvaluatedNetworkAttribute, INetworkAttribute2Proxy, NetworkAttribute

public interface INetworkAttribute2
extends INetworkAttribute, Serializable

Provides access to members that specify the properties of an attribute in a network dataset.

Remarks

The INetworkAttribute and INetworkAttribute2 interfaces are used to access the properties of the network attribute, such as its name and usage type.

To access the NetworkAttribute or EvaluatedNetworkAttribute object for an existing network dataset attribute, use the Attribute, AttributeByID, or AttributeByName methods on the INetworkDataset interface.

The INetworkAttribute and INetworkAttribute2 interfaces are also used to define a new network attribute. To create a new network attribute, cocreate an EvaluatedNetworkAttribute object, specify its properties, and pass the object to the INetworkBuild::AddAttribute method on the network dataset.

Product Availability

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

Method Summary

boolean	isUseByDefault() Indicates if this network attribute is to be used by default.
void	refresh() Refresh the network evaluators assigned to this network attribute.
void	setParametersByRef(IArray parameters) Array of parameters for this network attribute.
void	setUseByDefault(boolean useByDefault) Indicates if this network attribute is to be used by default.

Method Detail

getParameters

IArray getParameters()
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Array of parameters for this network attribute.

Remarks

This property provides access to the IArray interface that holds the collection of NetworkAttributeParameter objects that are available for this NetworkAttribute.

Product Availability

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

Returns:

A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IArray

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

setParametersByRef

void setParametersByRef(IArray parameters)
                        throws IOException,
                               AutomationException

Array of parameters for this network attribute.

Remarks

This property provides access to the IArray interface that holds the collection of NetworkAttributeParameter objects that are available for this NetworkAttribute.

Product Availability

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

Parameters:

parameters - A reference to a com.esri.arcgis.system.IArray (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

refresh

void refresh()
             throws IOException,
                    AutomationException

Refresh the network evaluators assigned to this network attribute.

Remarks

Calling Refresh propogates the call to INetworkEvaluator2::Refresh on the attribute's underlying network evaluators that implement INetworkEvaluator2. This gives the evaluator an opportunity to update its state based on current data or parameter values. This method is called by the network analyst solvers after setting INetworkAttribute2::Parameters prior to performing the solve operation.

Product Availability

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

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

isUseByDefault

boolean isUseByDefault()
                       throws IOException,
                              AutomationException

Indicates if this network attribute is to be used by default.

Remarks

If the UseByDefault property is set to True for a NetworkAttribute, the network attribute will automatically be set as an option (e.g., impedance, restriction, hierarchy) when a new network analysis layer is created in ArcMap.

Product Availability

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

Returns:

The useByDefault

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

setUseByDefault

void setUseByDefault(boolean useByDefault)
                     throws IOException,
                            AutomationException

Indicates if this network attribute is to be used by default.

Product Availability

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

Parameters:

useByDefault - The useByDefault (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.
