Remarks

Map content is represented by a number of classes, all of which inherit from the MapItem abstractMustInheritabstractabstract (MustInherit in Visual Basic) class. MapItem defines members such as ID and Name that are shared by all derived MapItem types. Each derived type of MapItem can be thought of as a building block of map content. When you add a MapItem to a map it appears in the ArcGIS Explorer table of contents, and if the MapItem has associated data or graphics, they will be displayed in the map. The table below gives a brief description of each MapItem type:
