Syntax

C#
public static ServiceLayer OpenMapServer(
	Uri url,

)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Shared Function OpenMapServer ( _
	url As Uri, _
	service As String _

Parameters

url

A Uri object which represents a Uniform Resource Identifier and consists of a string used to identify the map service on the Internet.

Return Value

A ServiceLayer object connected to the specified ArcGIS Server 2D map service.

Remarks

Use this method to both instantiate a ServiceLayer and connect the layer to a ArcGIS Server 2D map service. In contrast to the Connect method, an exception will be thrown if the specified service cannot be accessed.

Examples

The code below demonstrates how to both create and connect a ServiceLayer in a single call using the static OpenMapServer method.
CopyC#
{
  try
  {
    //Create and connect to the GeoEye_Imagery_World_2D map service 
    ServiceLayer sl = ServiceLayer.OpenMapServer(new Uri("http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services"),
                                                         "GeoEye_Imagery_World_2D");

    //Add layer to the map
    ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application.Application.ActiveMapDisplay.Map.ChildItems.Add(sl);
  }
  catch (Exception ex)
  {
    System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(ex.Message);
  }
}
CopyVB.NET
Try
  'Create and connect to the GeoEye_Imagery_World_2D map service 
  Dim sl As ServiceLayer = ServiceLayer.OpenMapServer(New Uri("http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services"), _
                                                         "GeoEye_Imagery_World_2D")
  'Add layer to the map
  ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Application.Application.ActiveMapDisplay.Map.ChildItems.Add(sl)
Catch ex As Exception
  System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(ex.Message)
End Try
