ArcGIS Pro 3.4 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping Namespace / BMPFormat Class / HasWorldFile Property
Example Version

HasWorldFile Property (BMPFormat)
Gets or sets if a georeferenced world file will be created.
Syntax
public bool HasWorldFile {get; set;}
Remarks

If set to true, the file will contain pixel scale and real-world coordinate information. World files are not generated for Layout exports.

If you export a 3D view, this parameter will be ignored regardless of the setting because world files are not applicable to 3D views.

(The default value is false)

Example
ExportBMP_MapFrame
//This example demonstrates how to export an individual map frame on a layout to BMP.

//Added references
using ArcGIS.Desktop.Core;                         //Project
using ArcGIS.Desktop.Layouts;                      //Layout classes
using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks;    //QueuedTask
using ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping;                      //Export formats

    //Reference a layoutitem in a project by name
    LayoutProjectItem layoutItem = Project.Current.GetItems<LayoutProjectItem>().FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name.Equals(LayoutName));

    //Create BMP format with appropriate settings

ExportBMP_ActiveMap
//This example demonstrates how to export the active mapview to BMP.

//Added references
using ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks;    //QueuedTask
using ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping;                      //MapView and Export formats

      if (BMP.ValidateOutputFilePath())
      {
        map.Export(BMP);
      }
    });
  }
}
Export the map view associated with a map frame to BMP
//Export the map view associated with a map frame to BMP.

//Create BMP format with appropriate settings
//EMF, EPS, GIF, JPEG, PDF, PNG, SVG, TGA, and TFF formats are also available for export
BMPFormat BMP = new BMPFormat()
{
  Resolution = 300,
  Height = 500,
  Width = 800,
  HasWorldFile = true,
  OutputFileName = filePath
};

//Reference the active layout view
LayoutView lytView = LayoutView.Active;

//Reference the map frame and its map view
MapFrame mf_bmp = layout.FindElement("Map Frame") as MapFrame;
//Export on the worker thread
  await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
  {
    MapView mv_bmp = mf_bmp.GetMapView(lytView);
    if (mv_bmp != null) { 
      //Check to see if the path is valid and export
      if (BMP.ValidateOutputFilePath())
      {
        mv_bmp.Export(BMP);  //Export to BMP
      }
    }
  });
