Executing geoprocessing services

Adding a custom toolbox

public void SampleGeoprocessingServerTool(Geoprocessor GP)
{

    // Add the BestPath toolbox published on a LAN.
    // Entered as server name;folder/toolbox.
    GP.AddToolbox(@"flame7;SanDiego/BestPath");

    // Or, add the BestPath toolbox published as a geoprocessing Web service.
    // Entered as Web service;folder/toolbox.
    GP.AddToolbox(@"http://flame7/arcgis/services;SanDiego/BestPath");

    // Add your code here.

}

Public Sub SampleGeoprocessingServerTool(ByVal GP As Geoprocessor)
    
    ' Add the BestPath toolbox published on a LAN.
    ' Entered as server name;folder/toolbox.
    GP.AddToolbox("flame7;SanDiego/BestPath")
    
    ' Or add the BestPath toolbox published as a geoprocessing Web service.
    ' Entered as Web service;folder/toolbox.
    GP.AddToolbox("http://flame7/arcgis/services;SanDiego/BestPath")
    
    ' Add your code here.
    
End Sub

Running tools on the server

• Execute a server tool where the data resides on the server and references layers in a map document:

// The input parameters reference layers in a map document that contain the toolbox and tools. 

public void SampleExecuteServerToolByReference()
{

    // Initialize the geoprocessor.
    Geoprocessor GP=new Geoprocessor();

    // Add the BestPath toolbox.
    GP.AddToolbox(@"http://flame7/arcgis/services;GP/Bestpathtoolbox");

    // Inputs reference layers in a map document on the server. 
    IVariantArray parameters=new VarArrayClass();
    parameters.Add("source");
    parameters.Add("destination");

    // Execute the server tool by reference.
    IGeoProcessorResult result;
    result=(IGeoProcessorResult)GP.Execute("CalculateBestPath", parameters, null);

}

' Execute a tool by reference. The input parameters reference layers in a map document that
' contain the toolbox and tools.
