IXYEvent2FieldsProperties Interface

Provides access to members that define the fields needed to create an XY event layer. A minimum of two fields (X and Y) are required.

Members

	Name	Description
	XFieldName	The name of the X field.
	YFieldName	The name of the Y field.
	ZFieldName	The name of the Z field (optional).

IXYEvent2FieldsProperties.XFieldName Property

The name of the X field.

Public Property XFieldName As String

public string XFieldName {get; set;}

Remarks

This field specified with this property must have a numeric data type.

IXYEvent2FieldsProperties.YFieldName Property

The name of the Y field.

Public Property YFieldName As String

public string YFieldName {get; set;}

Remarks

This field specified with this property must have a numeric data type.

IXYEvent2FieldsProperties.ZFieldName Property

The name of the Z field (optional).

Public Property ZFieldName As String

public string ZFieldName {get; set;}

Remarks

This field specified with this property must have a numeric data type.

Classes that implement IXYEvent2FieldsProperties

Classes	Description
XYEvent2FieldsProperties	Defines the fields needed for an xy event layer, requiring atleast X and Y fields.

Remarks

The IXYEvent2FieldsPropertiesinterface has properties for specifying the x field name, the y field name and the z field name. The x and y field name properties are required and must always return valid fields names, while the z field name is optional. The number 2 appears in the interface name because two of the three fields are required.

This information is used when creating a new XY feature class and can be returned from an existing XY feature class.

The fields must have numeric data types. For example, if your coordinates are stored in degrees, minutes and seconds, you need to convert them to decimal degrees and store them in numeric fields. These numeric fields can then be used to create an XY feature class.
