License needed for AxPageLayout Control

GregoryDillon · ‎01-28-2011

I just upgraded to 10 and now my .Net solution seems stop working when it hits the line:

AxPageLayoutControl1.LoadMxFile(MXDFilePath)

I don't get an error, it just quits.    Has the licensing changed with 10?   I used to use a desktop license with 9.3.1.

I've added the new binding (see below):

Public Sub New()

        ESRI.ArcGIS.RuntimeManager.BindLicense(ProductCode.EngineOrDesktop)

        ' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        InitializeComponent()

        ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.

    End Sub

and call the following subroutine in the form_load event

Private Sub HandleLicense()
        Dim AoInit As ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.AoInitialize = New ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.AoInitialize
        If AoInit.IsProductCodeAvailable(ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeArcServer) = ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable Then
            AoInit.Initialize(ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeArcServer)

        ElseIf AoInit.IsProductCodeAvailable(ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeEngine) = ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable Then
            AoInit.Initialize(ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeEngine)

        ElseIf AoInit.IsProductCodeAvailable(ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeArcInfo) = ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable Then
            AoInit.Initialize(ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeArcInfo)

        ElseIf AoInit.IsProductCodeAvailable(ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeArcEditor) = ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseStatus.esriLicenseAvailable Then
            AoInit.Initialize(ESRI.ArcGIS.esriSystem.esriLicenseProductCode.esriLicenseProductCodeArcEditor)

        End If
    End Sub

With ArcGIS10 you need the Engine license to use mapcontrols. It's something everyone is complaining about. There are some ways around it.
