The layer's symbols are random, dynamic, and therefore not conducive to the appearance of the layer. Another point is that the symbol has the ability to increase the readability of the electronic map. The desktop symbol file makes the symbol with the desktop style manage, and saves him as a style file. The file is actually an MDB database. The style file corresponds to desktop, with the corresponding class (Stylegallery class) supporting the read of the file in the desktop development package. ArcGIS engine symbol file The symbol file for ArcGIS engine has an extension of serverstyle and does not contribute to the creation and symbolic browsing of the file in the current Argis version. Just in \arcgis\developerkit\. Tools directory has a tool MakeServerStyleSet.exe used to convert style files to serverstyle files, serverstyle files are binaries, which is why a hundreds of K style file is converted to a Serverstyle file when only dozens of k , even for a smaller reason. The Serverstyle file corresponds to ArcGIS engine, and there are classes (Serverstylegallery classes) in the engine development package that support reading for that class. But at ArcGIS Engine in the Makeserverstyleset.exe,serverstylegallery class are bug, or the use of MakeServerStyleSet.exe conversion style file is not successful, or successful, using Serverstylegall The Ery class did not succeed in reading the Serverstyle file. In summary, if you develop a standalone program and use a symbol library, you must use the Serverstyle file because the class in the engine's development package does not read the style file, which is present in the desktop development package.
. style files are symbol library files exported with the ArcMap tool
. serverstyle files are arcengine available symbol library filesBoth need to be converted to be used. First: Copy the. style file to the D: Home directory; second: Use the ArcGIS installation directory (D:\Program files (x86) \arcgis\desktop10.1\bin\ ) MakeServerStyleSet.exe software for file conversion. Third: After the conversion, will prompt the error, does not have the tube, in the D: Disk home directory has generated the. serverstyle file, copy the file to the project master directory under the Bin/style directory can be used.
