Provides access to members that control the data source properties of a layer. Note: the IDataLayer interface has been superseded byIDataLayer2. Please consider using the more recent version.
Product Availability
Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Remarks
This
interface provides access to information about the data source of
the layer including: the data source name, the base path used in
relative pathnames, and whether the layer supports the data source.
There is also a method to connect to the data source if the
connection has been lost.
