Here we will learn how to query a feature, and then we will work with the geometry object and use the buffer operation to create a circle around the tower to represent the range based on a fixed radius.

In this section, we will start writing the actual ArcGIS code. To start working, copy the TelZaViBA empty add-in project template from the supporting files for this chapter under B04847_02_Files\telzaviba\Code to C:\ArcGISByExample\telzaviba\Code.
