ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile Namespace : MapLayer Class

Representation of Layer exposed to the user via MapLayers collection in Map.

Object Model





Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public MustInherit Class MapLayer
C# 
public abstract class MapLayer

Remarks

You can subclass a MapLayer if you want to nest a dataset in the MapLayer pile. A good example would be a shapefile or a SDCLayer. The data for a MapLayer shouldn't change often and shouldn't generate too many screen refreshes.

Unlike the original MobileCacheLayer, which represents the map data defined on the Server, MapLayer is exposed through the Map control, and hence determines how MapLayer is presented to the end user on display, allowing its properties (like name, visibility, or Opacity) to be modified.

To see the difference between MapLayer and MapGraphicLayer, see MapGraphicLayer.

A couple of MapLayer properties are available to customize the display of map through Map control, such as MinScale, MaxScale, Opacity, Visible, etc.

Map labels are represented by the LabelClass.
