CoClasses that implement IMapServerInfo2

CoClasses and Classes Description
MapServerInfo The Map Server Info coclass provides read-only information about a map.

Remarks

IMapServerInfo provides access to members describing the default state of a MapServer object, such as the name of the map, the background color or the spatial extent of the map. This information cannot be changed without changing the state of the underlying fine-grained ArcObjects.

Map settings of the Server object can be permanently changed by accessing fine-grained ArcObjects. This is accomplished using IMapServerObjects2. This should be done with objects in a non-pooled environment.  Changing the state of pooled objects this way will lead to unexpected results.

Please note the difference between IMapServerInfo and IMapDescription2. IMapServerInfo provides read-only access to its members. IMapDescription2 provided read-write access to its members. Use IMapDescription2 to access and change map settings without changing the state of the fine-grained ArcObejcts.
