Initializes a new instance of the Link class with the specified name and path.

Namespace:  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Mapping

Assembly:  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer (in ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.dll) Version: 2.0.0.1500 (2.0.0.1500)

Syntax

C#
public Link(
	string name,
	string path
)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Sub New ( _
	name As String, _
	path As String _
)

Parameters

name
Type: System..::.String

The name of the new Link; appears in the ArcGIS Explorer contents window when the Link is added to the Map.
path
Type: System..::.String

The file path of the target file of the Link; may be any accessible file.

Remarks

This overload of the Link constructor can be used to create a new Link referring to a specified file path. The name parameter is used to set the inherited Name property, and the path parameter is used to set the Path property.

Examples

The code below constructs a path to the Overview class diagram PDF file installed on disk as part of the ArcGIS Explorer SDK install. Provided the file is found, a Link is created which refers to this file by using the overloaded constructor, and is added to the map.
CopyC#
// Work out the path to the installed Overview class diagram.
string pdfPath = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ArcGIS_E3SDK") + @"\Diagrams\OverviewDiagram.pdf";
if (System.IO.File.Exists(pdfPath))
{
  // Create a new Link to the file.
  Link overviewPdf = new Link("Overview Class Diagram", pdfPath);
  // Alternatively, the Name and Path properties can be set after the Link is created.

  // Add the Link to the Map.
  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Mapping.MapDisplay disp = ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application.Application.ActiveMapDisplay;
  disp.Map.ChildItems.Add(overviewPdf);
}
CopyVB.NET
' Work out the path to the installed Overview class diagram.
Dim pdfPath As String = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ArcGIS_E3SDK") & "\Diagrams\OverviewDiagram.pdf"
If System.IO.File.Exists(pdfPath) Then
  ' Create a new Link to the file.
  Dim overviewPdf As Link = New Link("Overview Class Diagram", pdfPath)

  ' Alternatively, the Name and Path properties can be set after the Link is created.


  ' Add the Link to the Map.
  Dim disp As ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Mapping.MapDisplay = ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application.Application.ActiveMapDisplay
  disp.Map.ChildItems.Add(overviewPdf)
End If
