New GxLayer fails with ArcGIS Engine

BerendVeldkamp — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:58:45 GMT

I have the following code:

GxLayerClass gxLayer = new GxLayerClass();
gxLayer.Path = layerFile;

On my development machine, I have both ArcView and ArcGIS Engine (version 10) installed. When I bind a license using RuntimeManager.Bind(ProductCode.Desktop), things work as expected, but when I use RuntimeManager.Bind(ProductCode.Engine), the code breaks at the first line with a message Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {BDBBB40F-D0B2-11D1-AED9-080009EC734B} failed due to the following error: 80040111.

I can't find any evidence of Gxlayer not being included in ArcGIS Engine, but maybe someone can enlighten me?

IGxLayer is only available in ArcGIS Desktop. In the developer help, the topic for each interface and class has a Product Availability near the top of the page that lets you know what products are supported.

You can use ILayerFile to work with layer files in any of the products.

Thanks Neil.

Even after 10 years of ArcObjects development one keeps finding classes never seen before.
