I would like to add an ILayer created from an ArcGIS Server Map service to an IMap with ArcObjects, but don't see how to do it.
I am getting an IMapServer3 with the following code, where mapName = the map service:
serverContext = som.CreateServerContext(mapName, "MapServer");
IServerObject serverObject = serverContext.ServerObject;
IMapServer3 mapServer = (IMapServer3)serverObject;
It looks like I can get an ILayer from an IMapServerGroupLayer, but it looks like the IMapServerGroupLayer is looking for a different connection type than I am using.
If you have an example of getting an ILayer from a Map Service, your assistance is appreciated.
This is what worked...
private static void GetLayerFromMapServerLayer()
{
IAGSServerConnectionName servConnName = new AGSServerConnectionNameClass();
IPropertySet props = new PropertySetClass();
props.SetProperty("machine", "server");
servConnName.ConnectionProperties = props;
IAGSServerConnectionFactory pAGSServerConnectionFactory = new AGSServerConnectionFactoryClass();
IAGSServerConnection pAGSConnection = pAGSServerConnectionFactory.Open(props, 0);
IAGSEnumServerObjectName pEnumSOName = pAGSConnection.ServerObjectNames;
IAGSServerObjectName pSOName = pEnumSOName.Next();
while (pSOName != null)
{
if (pSOName.Name == "Base_Map")
break;
pSOName = pEnumSOName.Next();
}
IName pName = (IName)pSOName;
IMapServer mapServer = (IMapServer)pName.Open();
IMapServerLayer msLyr = new MapServerLayerClass();
msLyr.ServerConnect(pSOName, mapServer.DefaultMapName);
IMapServerGroupLayer group = (IMapServerGroupLayer)msLyr;
ILayer msLayer = (ILayer)msLyr;
//return msLayer;
MapDocument mapDoc = new MapDocumentClass();
mapDoc.Open(@"F:\~mkoneya~2011_82_13_58_30.mxd");
IMap myMap = mapDoc.get_Map(0);
myMap.AddLayer(msLayer);
mapDoc.Save();
}
