Initializes a new instance of the Basemap class from a specified map file (.nmf) and name.
Namespace:
ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.MappingAssembly: ESRI.ArcGISExplorer (in ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.dll) Version: 2.0.0.900 (2.0.0.900)
Syntax
| C# |
|---|
public Basemap( string path, string name ) |
| Visual Basic (Declaration) |
|---|
Public Sub New ( _ path As String, _ name As String _ ) |
Parameters
- path
- Type: System..::.String
The path to a map file (.nmf) containing one or more Basemap layers.
- name
- Type: System..::.String
The Basemap name. This is displayed in the ArcGIS Explorer contents window if the Basemap is applied to a map.
Remarks
If you would like to use one of the preconfigured ArcGIS Online or Bing basemaps you may find the nested type initializers for Basemap..::.ArcGISOnline and Basemap..::.BingMaps useful.
This constructor sets the Basemap name on initialization. The Basemap name appears in the ArcGIS Explorer contents window if the Basemap is applied to a map. You can change the Basemap name after construction by setting Basemap.Name property.
Examples
The code below demonstrates alternative ways to initialize a Basemap variable, using the overloaded constructors and the nested type initializers
on the Basemap class.
