In This Topic

Determines whether the map can be converted to the specified output type. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
C#

Public Function CanConvertMap( _
   ByVal map As Map, _
   ByVal convertTo As MapConversionType _
) As Boolean

public bool CanConvertMap( 
   Map map,
   MapConversionType convertTo
)

Parameters

map: The map to test
convertTo: The type to convert the map to

Return Value

System.Boolean

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.

Remarks

The following conversions are supported: o Map -> Base map, Scene (Global), Scene (Local)
o BaseMap -> Map
o Scene (Global) -> Map
o Scene (Local) -> Map
Specifying an invalid conversion type will return false
Note: If MapConversionType.SceneGlobal is specified, if the map spatial reference contains a vertical coordinate system, the VCS is checked to see if it is compatible with a global scene. If it is not, the method will also return false

Example

Convert Map to Local Scene

{
    //Note: Run within the context of QueuedTask.Run
    bool canConvertMap = MapFactory.Instance.CanConvertMap(map, MapConversionType.SceneLocal);
    if (canConvertMap)
        MapFactory.Instance.ConvertMap(map, MapConversionType.SceneLocal, true);
}

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 11 Home, Pro, Enterprise (64 bit)
