Example

This example shows you how you can use the LocalVectorLayer class and E2.AddLayer method in order to add a local shapefile called MyData.shp to ArcGIS Explorer as a Layer. This example sets a minimal amount of properties, relying mostly on default values. The example assumes that the current item has a member variable _taskUI pointing to the current TaskUI.
C#Copy Code
LocalVectorLayer shapeFile = new LocalVectorLayer(); 
shapeFile.Workspace = @"C:\Temp\MyFolder"; // Set the folder containing the shapefile. 
shapeFile.Dataset = @"MyData.shp";  // Set the shapefile file name. 
shapeFile.SymbolName = "Blue 5"; // Set an appropriate symbol name for the geometry type. 
shapeFile.SymbolSize = 50000; // Ideally, should set an appropriate symbol size for the layer viewing range. 
shapeFile.Connect(this._taskUI.E2); // Connect the layer. 
if (shapeFile.IsConnected)  // If the layer is connected, then add it. 
{ 
  this._taskUI.E2.AddLayer(shapeFile); 
}

Dim shapeFile As LocalVectorLayer = New LocalVectorLayer()
shapeFile.Workspace = "E:\Data\Shape\Mexico" ' Set the folder containing the shapefile.
shapeFile.Dataset = "cities.shp" ' Set the shapefile file name.
shapeFile.SymbolName = "Blue 5" ' Set an appropriate symbol name for the geometry type.
shapeFile.SymbolSize = 50000 ' Ideally should set an appropriate symbol size for the layer viewing range.
shapeFile.Connect(Me._taskUI.E2) ' Connect the layer to the data.
If shapeFile.IsConnected Then
  Me._taskUI.E2.AddLayer(shapeFile)
End If
