This sample .NET API
extension is a translation of the
GISDK Batch Maps Add-In.
This extension prints a batch of maps based on chosen map features. It uses
the map BATCHMAPS.MAP and files that are in your TUTORIAL folder. It
displays a list of store names and addresses from a store points layer, lets
you build a list of chosen stores and, for each chosen store, automatically
creates a layout on your default printer with a map of the store, a legend,
and a title containing the store name. A test mode is provided which
displays the prepared layout without actually printing it.
You can change the extension to use your own data.
