I'm using the IGxCatalog.GetObjectFromFullName method to find layer files on the c: drive. The call to IGxCatalog.GetObjectFromFullName returns null unless I have a folder connection in arc catalog to the c: drive. I'll have to update all the users Normal.gxt if this connection is really necessary. Does anyone know if IGxCatalog.GetObjectFromFullName can find layer files on the c: drive WITHOUT creating a folder connection in arc catalog?
As far as I remember you need to have the folders mapped in ArcCatalog but disk drives should be there by default. If its not there then you will have to add them as connections.
GetObjectFromFullName used to find objects in the catalog tree, you can connect the target folder programmatically using IGxCatalog.ConnectFolder Method.
