   ByVal path As String _
) As Task(Of LocalFeatureService)
C# 
public new static Task<LocalFeatureService> GetServiceAsync( 
   string path
)

Remarks

This method, particularly when used in conjunction with a Lambda Expression, provides a convenient way to quickly obtain a reference to a LocalFeatureService without having to specifically check for existing LocalFeatureService instances already running on the LocalServer or directly instantiate a new LocalFeatureService and explicitly call the StartAsync method.

The Action delegate will always be called regardless of the success or failure of the LocalServer to create or return a LocalFeatureService. For this reason the Error property should always be checked to confirm a successful execution. The Error property will be will be null if the if the LocalFeatureService was started successfully.

Parameters

path
A string representing the path or URL of a ArcGIS map package.
