A Note is a type of map content, that represents a Graphic associated with a Popup. Typically you would use a Note when you are collaborating with others or need to remind yourself of something you observed or discovered.

The Note.Popup property is read-only; a Popup object is implicitly created when a Note is instantiated. The characteristics of the Popup are inherently linked to the associated Note. For example the name of the Note determines the value of the Popup.Title property. Furthermore, the target location for the popup window is linked to the Notes geometry. Therefore you cannot use the Popup.SetTarget method on this type of Popup.

Conversely Note.Graphic is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) when the Note is instantiated, and typically you would set this property before adding the Note to the map. The visibility of a Note dictates the visibility of the associated graphic.

A Note can be stored in a map by adding to the Map.ChildItems collection in the same way as other derived MapItem types.
