    SetCamera(Bookmark) Method
    In This Topic
    Sets the map frame extent defined in a bookmark. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run.
    Syntax
    public void SetCamera( 
       Bookmark bookmark
    )
    Public Overloads Sub SetCamera( _
       ByVal bookmark As Bookmark _
    ) 

    Parameters

    bookmark
    Bookmark
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.
    Remarks
    SetCamera will have no effect a map frame's extent being driven by a map series.
    Example
    MapFrame_SetCamera_Bookmark
    //Set the extent of a map frame to a bookmark.
    
    //Perform on the worker thread
    await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      //Reference MapFrame
      MapFrame mf_bk = layout.FindElement("Map Frame") as MapFrame;
    
      //Reference a bookmark that belongs to a map associated with the map frame
      Map m = mf_bk.Map;
      Bookmark bk = m.GetBookmarks().FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name.Equals("Lakes"));
    
      //Set the map frame extent using the bookmark
      mf_bk.SetCamera(bk);
    });
    Create Map Frame and Set Camera
    //Create a map frame and set its camera by zooming to the extent of an existing bookmark.
    
    //Construct on the worker thread
    await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      //Build 2D envelope geometry
      Coordinate2D mf_ll = new Coordinate2D(6.0, 8.5);
      Coordinate2D mf_ur = new Coordinate2D(8.0, 10.5);
      //At 2.x - Envelope mf_env = EnvelopeBuilder.CreateEnvelope(mf_ll, mf_ur);
      Envelope mf_env = EnvelopeBuilderEx.CreateEnvelope(mf_ll, mf_ur);
    
      //Reference map, create MF and add to layout
      MapProjectItem mapPrjItem = Project.Current.GetItems<MapProjectItem>()
                           .FirstOrDefault(item => item.Name.Equals("Map"));
      Map mfMap = mapPrjItem.GetMap();
      Bookmark bookmark = mfMap.GetBookmarks().FirstOrDefault(
                            b => b.Name == "Great Lakes");
    
      //At 2.x - MapFrame mfElm =
      //                  LayoutElementFactory.Instance.CreateMapFrame(
      //                                             layout, mf_env, mfMap);

      //
      MapFrame mfElm = ElementFactory.Instance.CreateMapFrameElement(
                           layout, mf_env, mfMap, "New Map Frame");
    
      //Zoom to bookmark
      mfElm.SetCamera(bookmark);
    });
    Change map frame extent to single feature with 15 percent buffer
    //Change map frame extent to single feature with 10 percent buffer
    
    //Process on the worker thread
    await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      //Reference the mapframe and its associated map
      MapFrame mf = layout.FindElement("Map Frame") as MapFrame;
      Map m = mf.Map;
    
      //Reference a feature layer and build a query (to return a single feature)
      FeatureLayer fl = m.FindLayers("GreatLakes").First() as FeatureLayer;
      QueryFilter qf = new QueryFilter();
      string whereClause = "NAME = 'Lake Erie'";
      qf.WhereClause = whereClause;
    
      //Zoom to the feature
      using (ArcGIS.Core.Data.RowCursor rowCursor = fl.Search(qf))
      {
        while (rowCursor.MoveNext())
        {
          //Get the shape from the row and set extent
          using (var feature = rowCursor.Current as ArcGIS.Core.Data.Feature)
          {
            Polygon polygon = feature.GetShape() as Polygon;
            Envelope env = polygon.Extent as Envelope;
            mf.SetCamera(env);
    
            //Zoom out 15 percent
            Camera cam = mf.Camera;
            cam.Scale = cam.Scale * 1.15;
            mf.SetCamera(cam);
          }
        }
      }
    });
