ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.IMS.Data Namespace > ImageDataset Class : Name Property

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Visual Basic (Usage)

C#

Gets or sets the name of the Dataset.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property Name As String

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As ImageDataset Dim value As String instance.Name = value value = instance.Name

C#
public string Name {get; set;}

Remarks

The Name gives the name of the data set at its source. It is not an arbitrary name or alias. The name value varies depending on how rasters are accessed.

Raster Access Method ImageDataset Name

Specify by name. Name of raster including its extension.

Use all rasters in a directory. Rasters in the same directory automatically tile if they use the same coordinate projection and are drawn when they are within the extent requested. Use *ImageDirectory for the name: name="*ImageDirectory"

Use an ArcView GIS image catalog. Name of the image catalog DBF file. For instance, if catalog is named imagecat.dbf, use name="imagecat.dbf".

Add a GRID. Name of parent directory that contains GRID data; for a GRID named WorldImage, use name="WorldImage".

Use an image in ArcSDE. Name is the full ArcSDE name including the raster column where the image resides.

For Oracle, use <user>.<image layer>.<raster column>. If the user is "SDEUSER", the image layer is "MYIMAGE", and the raster column is "RASTER", the DATASET name is
SDEUSER.MYIMAGE.RASTER.

For SQL Server, Informix, and DB2, use <database>.<user>.<image layer>.<raster column>. If the database is "SDE", the user is "SDEUSER", the image layer is "MYIMAGE", and the raster column is "RASTER", the DATASET name is
SDE.SDEUSER.MYIMAGE.RASTER.

Performance is generally better if the field name is all upper case.
