WmsLayer¶
Namespace: ThinkGeo.Core.Async
Represents an object that encapsulates a Web Map Service (WMS) layer.
public class WmsLayer : WebBasedLayer, ThinkGeo.Core.IWmsEntity
Inheritance Object → LayerBase → Layer → LayerAsync → WebBasedLayer → WmsLayer
Implements IWmsEntity
Remarks:
A Web Map Service (WMS) produces maps of spatially referenced data dynamically from geographic information. This International Standard defines a "map" to be a portrayal of geographic information as a digital image file suitable for display on a computer screen. A map is not the data itself. WMS-produced maps are generally rendered in a pictorial format such as PNG, GIF or JPEG, or occasionally as vector-based graphical elements in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) or Web Computer Graphics Metafile (WebCGM) formats.

Above the upper threshold in scale, the image will not be displayed. This, in conjunction with the LowerThreshold property, allows you to create a band in which it is suitable to display the image source. By default, the upper threshold is double.max and lower threshold is 0. This means the image should always display.

IsOpen¶
This property returns true if the Layer is open and false if it is not.
public bool IsOpen { get; }
Property Value¶
Remarks:
This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method IsOpenCore. Various methods on the Layer require that it be in an open state. If one of those methods is called when the state is not open, then the method will throw an exception. To enter the open state, you must call the Layer Open method. The method will raise an exception if the current Layer is already open.
As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

OpenAsyncCore(CancellationToken)¶
This method opens the RasterSource so that it is initialized and ready to use.
protected Task OpenAsyncCore(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
Parameters¶
cancellationToken
CancellationToken
Returns¶
Task
None
Exceptions¶
InvalidOperationException
In the event you attempt to call this method on an image source which has already been opened, it will throw an InvalidOperationException.
Remarks:
This protected virtual method is called from the concrete public method Open. The Open method plays an important role, as it is responsible for initializing the RasterSource. Most methods on the RasterSource will throw an exception if the state of the RasterSource is not opened. When the map draws each layer, it will open the RasterSource as one of its first steps; then, after it is finished drawing with that layer, it will close it. In this way, we are sure to release all resources used by the RasterSource.
When implementing this abstract method, consider opening files for file-based sources, connecting to databases in the database-based sources and so on. You will get a chance to close these in the Close method of the RasterSource.
CloseAsyncCore(CancellationToken)¶
protected Task CloseAsyncCore(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
Parameters¶
cancellationToken
CancellationToken
