Metadata stylesheet

CarlosPiccirillo

Hi everyone,

I am converting C# code from ArcGIS 9.3 to 10.1 and have hit a wall trying to set the metadata stylesheet in code. In 9.3 the code to change the stylesheet was:

IMetadataViewWindow metadataWindow = new MetadataViewWindowClass();
metadataWindow.Layer = pLayer;
metadataWindow.Application = m_application;
metadataWindow.DataSource = pDataLayer.DataSourceName as IDatasetName;
metadataWindow.MetadataHelper.Stylesheet = "FGDC ESRI";

The main problem is that the Stylesheet property on the IMetadataViewWindow interface is read only in 10.1 where it used to be read/write in 9.3.

My attempt at the 10.1 code using the IMetadataHelper Stylesheet Example is:

IExtension pExtension = m_application.FindExtensionByName("ESRI Metadata Extension") as IExtension;
IMetadataHelper pMetadataHelper = pExtension as IMetadataHelper;
pMetadataHelper.Stylesheet = "ARCGIS";

I also tried pMetadataHelper.Stylesheet = "FGDC ESRI"; and pMetadataHelper.Stylesheet = "FGDC CSDGM Metadata";

The code produces no errors but it does not work either.

Opening some metadata after running the code produces the default "Item Description" metadata style. I can change it manually by going to Customize > Options and on the Metadata tab choose the style I want but I need to do this in code because most of the users accessing our code are not very ArcGIS literate so the more things I can automate, the better.

I have looked through the old forums as well as the new ones and found very few posts dealing with metadata.

Thanks for your time,
Carlos

Yes Otto, you can email me at cpicciri@sfwmd.gov if you wish. Yes, I speak Spanish. Unfortunately, I have not found a solution to the problem.

Hello Carlos,

I am dealing with same problem. May I email you? It is just because I think you speak Spanish and that is my language.

Thank you in advantage,

Otto Arturo.
