What is the difference between CanEditData() and IsEditable?

[Amadeus111]

I need to check if a FeatureLayer editable and convey a message to the user if editing fails for a feature. I would like to show a meaningful reason why the FeatureLayer is not editable. 

I thought CanEditData() returns false for only if user unchecks editable checkbox on Contents pane but that is not I found out. So, what is the difference between these two other than one is method, the other is property? They basically check the same thing?

I would also like to know the answer to this, I have a feature layer with IsEditable true and CanEditData() returning false. What's the difference between the two?

Hi,

Text from ProConcepts:

"Edits can be attempted on all editable layers and standalone tables, i.e. MapMembers, determined by the CanEditData property on BasicFeatureLayer, StandAloneTable and IDisplayTable. This property is a combination of the editability of the data source (read/write), and the IsEditable property of those classes which represents the check box state on the List by Editing view of the table of contents."
