How to get newly added feature id?

reza_assar · January 12, 2017, 4:29am

I use string strId=layer.EditTools.Add(newFeature); to add a new feature into .shp file.
returning strId is something like "wer234 wet345 ert456 er345". but when i use GetAllFeatures() method, It turns out that the real inserted id for this feature is a string digit like 251.
Is there a way to retrieve real inserted id of the feature when i just added it?

Hi Reza,

If you view the API you can see the comment for it: This string is the ID that will uniquely identify this Feature while it is in a transaction.

So this id is not the real id for the added feature.

You can get the feature from layer again and know its id.

Regards,

Don
