Splitting Polyline/Curve With AutoCAD Civil 3D Labels Associated - Updated

.
The code shown in my previous post, as I mentioned there, only re-creates single Civil3D segment label when a polyline/curve is split. However, each segment of a split-able curve/polyline could be annotated by multiple labels (in different label styles, of course). Also, the code shown in that post does not re-store the labels in their original locations. I was able to find a few hours sitting down to update the code to cover these issues.

The solution is to search drawing to find all labels that associate to the polyline/curve to be split, and save these labels' information for later need (when re-creating labels). So, I defined this class SegmentLabelInfo:

using Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry;

namespace Civil3DLabels
{
    public enum SegmentLabelType
    {
        LineLabel=0,
        CurveLabel=1,
    }

    public class SegmentLabelInfo
    {
        public ObjectId LabelStyleId { setget; }
        public string LabelLayer { setget; }
        public Point3d LabelPosition { setget; }
        public SegmentLabelType LabelType { setget; }

        public SegmentLabelInfo()
        {
            LabelStyleId = ObjectId.Null;
            LabelLayer = "";
            LabelPosition = Point3d.Origin;
            LabelType = SegmentLabelType.LineLabel;
        }

        public bool IsOnCurve(ObjectId curveId, out double ratio)
        {
            ratio = 0.5;
            bool onCurve = false;

            Point3d pt;
            using (var tran = 
                curveId.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {
                var curve = (Curve)tran.GetObject(
                    curveId, OpenMode.ForRead);
                pt = curve.GetClosestPointTo(LabelPosition, false);

                //If the label anchored on this curve
                var dist = LabelPosition.DistanceTo(pt);
                onCurve = dist <= Tolerance.Global.EqualPoint;

                //the distance from curve's start point to anchor point
                dist = curve.GetDistAtPoint(pt);
                ratio = dist / curve.GetDistAtPoint(curve.EndPoint);

                tran.Commit();
            }

            return onCurve;
        }
    }
}

As the code shows, besides the 4 public properties used to store a label's information, a method IsOnCurve() is also defined to determine if the label sits on one of the segment split from the original polyline/curve; if yes, what location (distance to the start point) the label is at (output parameter ratio).

Now, here is the updated working code, where I changed the class name from PolylineSplitter to MyPolylineSplitter:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

using CadDb = Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices;

using Civil = Autodesk.Civil;
using CivilDb = Autodesk.Civil.DatabaseServices;
using Autodesk.Civil.DatabaseServices.Styles;

The polyline to be split in this video clip is annotated with 2 labels for each of its segment; some of the labels are on different layers (in different colors); Also, the labels' anchor point (location) on the segment have been dragged randomly along the segment. After execute command "ExplodePoly", all labels look like unchanged, even though they are all re-created.
