ArcGIS.Desktop.Core Namespace

The ArcGIS.Desktop.Core namespace contains classes used to create and manage ArcGIS Pro projects. After creating or opening a project, developers can retrieve and work with the items it contains such as maps, layouts tasks, styles, and other resources. Developers can determine if changes to the current project are waiting to be saved, and set properties such as its home folder.

Classes

	Class	Description
	ArcGISPortal	The ArcGISPortal class is part of the Pro Portal API which provides a way to build applications that work with content from ArcGIS Online or an ArcGIS Portal. ArcGIS Portal is software technology from Esri that customers can deploy either on premise or in the cloud. ArcGIS Online is Esri's Software as a Service offering that represents GIS as a Service and is implemented using the same technology as ArcGIS Portal. The Portal API allows application developers to work with users, groups and content hosted within ArcGIS Online or within an ArcGIS Portal.
	ArcGISPortalManager	Manages the collection of portals currently defined for Pro. Portals can be added to and removed from the ArcGISPortalManager. The list of portals is shown on the Portals backstage tab.
	BrowseProjectFilter	The BrowseProjectFilter class is used to control the behavior of the open and save dialogs by controlling what is visible and what can be browsed into
	ClipboardItem	ClipboardItem is a light-weight item representation used by Pro for copy/paste
	Contents	IContentsProviders will return an instance of this class for their "contents". Contents are shown in the Contents Dock pane when the IContentsProvider is activated.
	CoreModule	Represents the core module, which provides access to the current project
	CreateProjectSettings	Provides the settings used to create a new project
	CustomItemBase	Base class for deriving custom items. Custom items are shown in the Catalog View and Pane
	CustomProjectItemBase	Base class for deriving custom project items. Custom project items are custom items that can be persisted within a project aprx.
	CustomProjectItemContainer<T>	A custom project item container contains custom project items of a specific type that have been added to a project.
	EsriHttpClient	Provides a class for perfroming HTTP communication with a resource identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).
	EsriHttpRequestHeaders	Represents the collection of Request Headers as defined in RFC 2616.
	EsriHttpResponseMessage	Provides a class representing HTTP response message.
	InvalidVersionException	Represents the managed exception base class for custom ArcGIS.Desktop.Core exceptions
	Item	Represents an item that is available to be used in the current project
	ItemCategory	Provides a base class for ItemCategory classes defined in DAML
	ItemException	Item exception
	ItemFactory	Creates items that can be added or imported to the project
	PortalConnectionDoesNotExistsException	Thrown when an invalid portal is provided as the active portal.
	ProApp	Encapsulates the ArcGISPro application.
	ProBasedApp	The Pro application
	Project	Represents an ArcGIS Pro project
	ProjectItemInfo	Basic information associated with a ProjectItem
	SignInResult	Contains the status of the Portal SignIn. This includes the success of failure of the SignIn and the current token (if succesfull)
	StartPageNewProjectContent	Interaction logic for StartPageNewProjectContent.xaml StartPageNewProjectContent

	UploadDefinition	Represents a class to provide parameters to the Upload method on EsriHttpClient class.
	ViewStatePane	Represents a primary window within the application that persists its view state with the project. This is an abstract class.

Interfaces

	Interface	Description
	IContentsControl	Implement this interface on the View Model associated with your Contents control to override the default Contents caption or make your control read-only.
	IContentsPaneClipboardOps	Support clipboard operations from your contents control
	IContentsPaneClipboardOps2	IContentsPaneClipboardOps2 interface
	IContentsProvider	Panes must implement this interface to show their Contents in the Contents dock pane (eg a custom TOC)
	IItemFactory	Defines factory methods for item creation
	IMetadata	Implemented by items that support metadata
	IMetadataInfo	Supports access and update of metadata
	IProjectItem	Provides basic interface for all project items
	IProjectMultiItem	Implemented by items that support import
	IProjectView	Implemented on catalog view panes. Indicates whether the details view is being shown and the parent item of any items that are selected.
	IProjectWindow	Use this interface to select items and retrieve the current selection
	ISearchableItem	ISearchableItem interface

Enumerations

	Enumeration	Description
	BrowseProjectFilter.FilterFlag	Flags used by the BrowseProjectFilter to represent groups of item types
	InvalidVersionException.Type	Specifies the exceptions that may occur when attempting to use a project or project template, a map or layout file, or a package
	ItemFactory.ItemType	Specifies the type of item that will be created using ItemFactory.Create, then added or imported to the project
	MDExportRemovalOption	Enumeration of options for filtering sensitive content out of an item’s metadata. The item’s metadata content is filtered before it is exported to a standard metadata format. The amount of content that is filtered out of the item’s metadata is determined by the option selected.
	MDImportExportOption	Enumeration of options for importing metadata to and exporting metadata from an item. Used to identify the XML format of a metadata document that will be imported, or the XML format of the metadata document that will be created on export. An appropriate transformation will take place between the ArcGIS metadata XML format and the indicated XML format. On import, the resulting ArcGIS metadata is saved to the item. Remarks: On import, if the selected option identifies an XML format that doesn’t match the XML format of the source metadata document the wrong transformation will be performed. The resulting content that is formatted as ArcGIS metadata can be missing some or all of the original content.
	MDSaveAsHTMLOption	Enumeration of options for saving an item’s ArcGIS metadata to an HTML file. The item’s metadata content can be exported to HTML format for display or use outside the ArcGIS platform. The XSLT stylesheet used to perform this conversion is indicated by the option selected.
	MDSaveAsXMLOption	Enumeration of options for saving an item’s metadata to an ArcGIS metadata format XML file. The item’s ArcGIS metadata content can be saved to an XML document where the content continues to be stored in the ArcGIS metadata XML format. The amount of content that is filtered out of the item’s metadata depends on the option selected.
	MDUpgradeOption	Enumeration of options for upgrading an item’s metadata to the ArcGIS metadata format. This option is provided to update metadata that was created with ArcGIS Desktop 8.x or 9.x..
	TemplateType	Gets and sets the project system template type that will be used to create the new project
