Subject	Error with CreateFeature in SDE Layer
Author	Steven Teller
Date	Sep 04, 2007
Message	Howdy, I am getting an error every time I call the CreateFeature method on IFeatureClass. I am trying to add a feature to an empty SDE layer. When the error occurs, StartEditing and StartEditOperation have already been called. The error message is as follows: 'Shapes of this entity type not allowed in this layer'. Note that this error happens before I even get a chance to assign a shape to the new feature. I have been searching the documentation and the forums for a couple of days with no success. The same code works fine when dealing with shapefiles or layers in a personal geodatabase. Thanks for any help, Steve

Message	Thanks very much for taking the time to reply to my question. The thread you pointed me to provided exactly the information I needed and solved my problem. To me it is interesting that ArcCatalog indicated that the shape field on my layer would allow nulls even though it would not. I had to add n to the entity mask to solve my problem. For anyone interested, the command line to do this is: sdelayer -o alter -l layername,shape -e na+ ... This assumes you need a layer that supports multi-part polygons. Nowhere in ESRI's documentation was this mentioned. I am relatively new to the ArcGIS Engine/ArcSDE world but have spent a good bit of time with the documentation and thought I had a fairly good grasp of how things are supposed to work. I am not looking forward to all the other gotchas that may be lurking in the shadows. Thanks again for taking the time to help me out. Steve
