CoClasses that implement IMapServer2
| CoClasses and Classes | Description |
|---|---|
| MapServer | The MapServer component provides programmatic access to the contents of a map document on disk, and creates images of the map contents based on user requests. Designed for use in building map-based web services and web applications. |
| MapServerIP | Map Server Message Proxy. |
| MapServerLP | Map Server LAN Proxy. |
Remarks
MapServer is a coarse-grained ArcObject. MapServer provides limited interaction with the map through a group of related "MapServer" coclasses and interfaces. IMapServer2 includes methods to export a map image (ExportMapImage), query features in the map (Identify, Find, QueryFeatureCount, QueryFeatureCount2, QueryFeatureIDs, QueryFeatureIDs2, QueryFeatureData and QueryFeatureData2). IMapServer2 is not an implementable interface. Custom server objects cannot be created.
