Remarks

GetFeature will return the IFeature interface for a feature in the feature class with a given Object ID (OID). This method is typically used to find a particular feature that you know the OID for.  Use a cursor if you wish to loop through all features in the feature class.

Calling the GetFeature method on a feature class (via the IFeatureClass interface on the feature class) has the same effect as calling the GetRow method on the FeatureClass (via the ITable interface on the feature class) except that the IFeatureClass methods return IFeature interfaces.
 

[C#]     //e.g, nameOfField = "City_Name"
    public void IFeatureClass__GetFeature(IFeatureClass featureClass, string nameOfField)
    {
        //get the index of the field we are interested in
        int fieldIndexValue = featureClass.FindField(nameOfField);
        //Get feature with OID 11, because it is known to exist
        //This method is typically used to get a feature by know OID
        //If you wish to loop through a series of features, use a Cursor.
        IFeature feature = featureClass.GetFeature(1);
        Console.WriteLine("The {0} field contains a value of {1}", nameOfField, feature.get_Value(fieldIndexValue));
    }
