Hi everybody,

I have to write an console application, that creates an lyrx-File of a wms-service.

I should be able to create a Layer using the Layer Factory, but it needs a map.

So I try to Create an empty Map first.

When I do, I get an Exception:

System.NullReferenceException
HResult = 0x80004003
Nachricht = Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.
Quelle = ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping
Stapelüberwachung:
at ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.MapFactory.<>c__DisplayClass5_0.<CreateMap>b__0()
at ArcGIS.Desktop.Internal.Mapping.Utilities.MakeBasicServiceCall[T](Func`1 serviceCall)
at ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.MapFactory.CreateMap(String name, MapType mapType, MapViewingMode defaultViewingMode, Basemap basemap)

Unfortunately I have no idea what my error is.

Thank you, for reading

Hi,

Corehost supports access to GDB and Geometry only. CoreHost application cannot use many of the constructs provided by the ArcGIS.Desktop dlls

In addition to @GKmieliauskas , attempting to access any of the ArcGIS Pro UI elements or types in other assemblies in an ArcEngine-like fashion will crash the program.
