How to create a local image service

Creating a local image service

The following code example shows how to create a local image server object from a mosaic dataset, and set configurations:
[C#] 
public static IImageServer InitializeImageServer(string mosaicDatasetPath)
{
    //Initialize.
    IImageServerInit2 isInit2 = new ImageServerClass();
    isInit2.Initialize(mosaicDatasetPath);

    //Set configuration parameters (default compression: JPEG; default mosaic method: MosaicToCenter).  
    isInit2.AllowedCompressions = "JPEG,None,LZ77";
    isInit2.AllowedFields = "MinPS,MaxPS,LowPS,HighPS,CenterX,CenterY";
    isInit2.AllowedItemMetadata = "Full";
    isInit2.AllowedMosaicMethods = "Center,NorthWest,ByAttribute,LockRaster";
    isInit2.ExcludedFields = "Raster";
    isInit2.MaxImageHeight = 4100;
    isInit2.MaxImageWidth = 15000;
    isInit2.MaxRecordCount = 20;

    //Cast to IImageServer.
    IImageServer imageServer = isInit2 as IImageServer;
    return imageServer;
}
[VB.NET] 
Public Shared Function InitializeImageServer(ByVal mosaicDatasetPath As String) As IImageServer
'Initialize.
Dim isInit2 As IImageServerInit2 = New ImageServerClass()
isInit2.Initialize(mosaicDatasetPath)

'Set configuration parameters (default compression: JPEG; default mosaic method: MosaicToCenter).
isInit2.AllowedCompressions = "JPEG,None,LZ77"
isInit2.AllowedFields = "MinPS,MaxPS,LowPS,HighPS,CenterX,CenterY"
isInit2.AllowedItemMetadata = "Full"
isInit2.AllowedMosaicMethods = "Center,NorthWest,ByAttribute,LockRaster"
isInit2.ExcludedFields = "Raster"
isInit2.MaxImageHeight = 4100
isInit2.MaxImageWidth = 15000
isInit2.MaxRecordCount = 20

'Cast to IImageServer.
Dim imageServer As IImageServer = CType(isInit2, IImageServer)
Return imageServer
End Function
