Accessing OGC WCS coverage
To access a coverage served through an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Coverage Service (WCS) server, see the following code example:
[C#]
//WCS service uniform resource locator (URL).
string URL = "http://liaoning1/arcgis/services/dem/mapserver/wcsserver?";
//Create WCSLayer from the first coverage.
IWCSLayer wcslayer = new WCSLayerClass();
wcslayer.Create(URL, "1", "1.0.0");
//Access raster.
IRasterLayer rasterlayer = (IRasterLayer)wcslayer;
IRaster2 raster = (IRaster2)rasterlayer.Raster;
//Access raster dataset.
IRasterDataset rasterdataset = raster.RasterDataset;
[VB.NET]
'WCS service uniform resource locator (URL).
Dim URL As String = "http://liaoning1/arcgis/services/dem/mapserver/wcsserver?"
'Create WCSLayer from the first coverage.
Dim wcslayer As IWCSLayer = New WCSLayerClass()
wcslayer.Create(URL, "1", "1.0.0")
'Access raster.
Dim rasterlayer As IRasterLayer = CType(wcslayer, IRasterLayer)
Dim raster As IRaster2 = CType(rasterlayer.Raster, IRaster2)
'Access raster dataset.
Dim rasterdataset As IRasterDataset = raster.RasterDataset
