Export(ExportFormat,MapSeriesExportOptions) Method

In This Topic

Export pages from a layout's associated map series using a specialized collection of settings. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public void Export( 
   ExportFormat exportFormat,
   MapSeriesExportOptions mapSeriesExportOptions
)

Public Overloads Sub Export( _
   ByVal exportFormat As ExportFormat, _
   ByVal mapSeriesExportOptions As MapSeriesExportOptions _
)

Parameters

exportFormat: Specify one of the following ExportFormats.
mapSeriesExportOptions: Provide a set of MapSeriesExportOptions.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.

Remarks

This export overload allows you to export one or more pages associated with a map series to a supported output file format. Each ExportFormat has its own set of configurable parameters such as OutputFileName and Resolution.

And you must also configure the MapSeriesExportOptions depending on the desired output.

Example

Layout_ExportPDF

  //Export a layout to PDF

  //Create a PDF export format
  PDFFormat pdf = new PDFFormat()
  {
    OutputFileName = filePath,

    HasGeoRefInfo = true,
    ImageCompression = ImageCompression.Adaptive,
    ImageQuality = ImageQuality.Best,
    LayersAndAttributes = LayersAndAttributes.LayersAndAttributes
};

  //Check to see if the path is valid and export
  if (pdf.ValidateOutputFilePath())
  {
    layout.Export(pdf);  //Export the PDF 
  }
