How to create a custom ExportFormat

I was looking at creating a custom ExportFormat, but was wondering where to implement the actual export method. I was expecting an overridable Execute() method or something like that, but can't find it. The documentation doesn't really go into details.

I guess the basics should be something like this:

internal class MyExporter : ExportFormat { public MyExporter(): base() { _extensions.Add("my"); } public override bool ValidateOutputFilePath() { return true; } } /// internal class Button1 : Button { protected override void OnClick() { QueuedTask.Run(() => { var e = new MyExporter(); e.OutputFileName = @"d:\temp\test.my"; MapView.Active.Export(e); }); } }

The api is not extensible in that regard. You would basically have to write something like:

MyModule.Current.MyCustomExportMethod(MapView.Active, ....) assuming that u cld actually access, via the available public api, the relevant properties, etc. u wld need for implementation of your custom export
