Syntax

C#
public override string Attribution { get; set; }
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Overrides Property Attribution As String

Field Value

Text to acknowledge the use of the ServiceLayers underlying data.

Remarks

Layer attribution is text that acknowledges the use of a layers underlying data; usually this text will credit the data owner. The text will cycle, with the attribution text of other layers in the map, at the lower right of the map display.

A ServiceLayer may contain existing attribution applied when the owner of the data published the GIS service. In order to preserve existing attribution it is not possible to change this property for a ServiceLayer. Attempting to set this property for a ServiceLayer will not cause an exception, however the specified attribution will not be applied.

The CanChangeAttribution property is used to check if custom attribution can be applied to a Layer; it will always return falseFalsefalsefalse (False in Visual Basic) for ServiceLayers.
