Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.

Remarks

This method is different from BasicFeatureLayer.IsEditable which incorporates the state of the Editable checkbox on the TOC for the layer

A value of true returned from this function does not guarantee that an edit on this layer will succeed. The checks performed by this method are attempted without executing an actual edit, so there may be other additional factors which can impact if the data can be edited successfully.

The checks performed include testing the layer type, if the data is part of a compressed geodatabase, if connected to an enterprise dataset with edit permissions.

The checks do not include tests for file permissions - such as a shapefile being readonly on disk.Returns true if data can be edited.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 11 Home, Pro, Enterprise (64 bit)

ArcGIS Pro version: 3.7 or higher.
