When a user loads an mxd, I am getting the IWorkspace object from the featurelayer's dataset:
IFeatureClass featClass = (IFeatureClass)featLayer.FeatureClass; IDataset dataSet = (IDataset)featClass.FeatureDataset; IWorkspace workSpace = (IWorkspace)dataSet.Workspace;
But this obviously does not work if the user has a layer from a file geodatabase (dataset is null).
I can check to see if it's a gdb layer but nothing in the featurelayer or its featureclass tells me the source of the gdb.
How do I go about setting the workspace object to a featurelayer that comes from a gdb?
