LayerFactoryHelper CoClass

Helper class to create layers from names.

Product Availability

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Interfaces

Interfaces Description
ILayerFactoryHelper Provides access to members used to create layers from names.

Remarks

The CreateLayersFromName method is of limited use to ArcGIS Engine and ArcGIS for Server developers because there is only a small subset of layer factories present and registered in the 'Layer Factory' component category. The CreateLayersFromName method internally iterates the objects in the "Layer Factory" component category and uses the ILayerFactory::CanCreate and ILayerFactory::Create methods.
