Visual Basic (Declaration)

   Item item,
   int index
)

Public Overloads Function InsertFavorite( _
   ByVal item As Item, _

Parameters

item: The item to add to the favorite collection. For example a folder connection or a toolbox.
index: The index at which the item is to be inserted.

Return Value

The favorite item. Null if the item cannot be added as a favorite.

Remarks

An item can only exist once in the favorite collection. If the item already exists in the favorites collection, then no additional item is inserted. However the existing item will be moved to the specified index and the Favorite.IsAddedToAllNewProjects property will be updated to false.

You should always check CanAddAsFavorite before passing an item to this method.

Example

Insert a Favorite - Geodatabase path

string gdbPath = "@C:\\myDataFolder\\myData.gdb";

var itemGDB = ItemFactory.Instance.Create(gdbPath);

// is the item already a favorite?
var fav = FavoritesManager.Current.GetFavorite(itemGDB);
// no; add it with IsAddedToAllNewProjects set to true
if (fav != null)
{
  if (FavoritesManager.Current.CanAddAsFavorite(itemGDB))
    FavoritesManager.Current.InsertFavorite(itemGDB, 1, true);
}
