Members

	All Properties Methods	Description
	ComputeDistance	Computes the distance between two points on the specified map. The result is in the map units of the specified map.
	ComputeScale	Computes the scale of the specified map, at the given map extent, for an image with the given size.
	DefaultMapName	Name of the document's active map (data frame).
	DocumentInfo	A set of name-value pairs for properties set for the map document (mxd only). These properties are string values set in the map document's Map Properties dialog and include: Title, Subject, Author, Category, Keywords and Comments.

	ExportScaleBar	Exports a scale bar to an image file. The client can create the scaleBar object and set its desired properties appropriately. If scaleBar is Nothing/Null, a default scale bar will be generated.
	Find	Returns a collection of Map Server Find Result objects that contain the given search string. If LayerIDs is Nothing/Null or empty, all layers are searched.
	FromMapPoints	Converts a map coordinate to a screen location.
	GetLegendInfo	Returns a collection of Map Server Legend Info objects for the specified layers. If layerIDs is Nothing/Null or empty, legend information for all layers is returned.
	GetServerInfo	Returns information about a map (data frame).
	GetSQLSyntaxInfo	Returns the SQL syntax information for the specified layer.
	GetSupportedImageReturnTypes	The supported image return types for the map server. A value of esriImageReturnMimeData means that only MIME data is supported. Otherwise, either MIME data or URLs are supported.
	Identify	Returns a collection of Map Server Identify Result objects at the given location. If LayerIDs is Nothing/Null or empty, all layers are searched.
	MapCount	The number of maps (data frames) in the document.
	MapName	Name of the map (data frame) as indicated by the index. The first beginning with 0.
	QueryFeatureCount	Returns the count of the features that meet the query filter selection criteria for the specified layer.
	QueryFeatureCount2	Returns the count of the features that meet the query filter selection criteria for the specified layer.
	QueryFeatureData	Returns a record set of features that meet the query filter selection criteria for the specified layer.
	QueryFeatureData2	Returns a record set of features that meet the query filter selection criteria for the specified layer.
	QueryFeatureIDs	Returns the IDs of the features that meet the query filter selection criteria for the specified layer.
	QueryFeatureIDs2	Returns the IDs of the features that meet the query filter selection criteria for the specified layer.

CoClasses that implement IMapServer2

Remarks

MapServer is a coarse-grained ArcObject. MapServer provides limited interaction with the map through a group of related "MapServer" coclasses and interfaces. IMapServer2 includes methods to export a map image (ExportMapImage), query features in the map (Identify, Find, QueryFeatureCount, QueryFeatureCount2, QueryFeatureIDs, QueryFeatureIDs2, QueryFeatureData and QueryFeatureData2). IMapServer2 is not an implementable interface. Custom server objects cannot be created.
