[fdo-users] ArcSDE connection string help

[George McLean]

Thanks Jack - This was very helpful. I am now able to connect to ArcSDE 
using my .net code. My next hurdle appears to be creating feature 
classes correctly. I have created a single feature class using ArcSDE. 
This feature class is a line feature so I think it has geometry 
properties. However, using the FDO API I am not able to see the feature 
class. I started with a FeatureSchemaCollectrion object and drilled down 
to the PropertyDefinition objects in the collection but there do not 
appear to be any featureClass objects. I have used this same code with 
Oracle and MySQL so am pretty sure it works.

Also, I can not see the feature class when I connect through Display 
Manager.

Does anyone have any guidance on setting up feature classes in 
ArcCatalog that might affect whether or not the FDO API can recognize 
the feature class?

Thanks

George McLean
