Description

Programmtically deleting a geometric network in ArcCatalog and then deleting the network's feature dataset, will cause ArcCatalog to fatal.

Cause

This is a known issue.

Solution or Workaround

There are two workarounds for this problem:

  • Do not delete the feature dataset following this operation. Close and re-start ArcCatalog to delete the dataset.
  • Delete the network using IGxObjectEdit:Delete instead of Dataset:Delete. In ArcCatalog, get a reference to the selected object from IGxApplication:SelectedObject and QI to IGxObjectEdit
