Example

In This Topic
    IsVisible Property (LayerCreationParams)
    In This Topic
    Gets and sets layer visibility. Default value is null meaning that the layer visibility is set according to ArcGIS.Desktop.Core.MappingOptions.NewLayersVisible.
    Syntax
    Public Property IsVisible As Nullable(Of Boolean)
    public Nullable<bool> IsVisible {get; set;}
    Example
    Create FeatureLayer and set to not display in Map.
    {
        //The catalog path of the feature layer to add to the map
        var featureClassUriVisibility = new Uri(@"C:\Data\Admin\AdminData.gdb\USA\cities");
        //Define the Feature Layer's parameters.
        var layerParamsVisibility = new FeatureLayerCreationParams(featureClassUriVisibility)
        {
            //Set visibility
            IsVisible = false,
        };
        //Create the layer with the feature layer parameters and add it to the active map
        //Note: Needs QueuedTask to run
        var createdFC = LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer<FeatureLayer>(layerParamsVisibility, MapView.Active.Map);
    }
    Create a Scene Layer
    {
      // Note: call within QueuedTask.Run()
      {
        //Create with initial visibility set to false. Add to current scene
        var createparams = new LayerCreationParams(new Uri(sceneLayerUrl, UriKind.Absolute))
        {
          IsVisible = false

        //cast to specific type of scene layer being created - in this case FeatureSceneLayer
