Appendix B: Customizing MapXtreme
Location of Application Data Files
MapXtreme v7.1 490 Developer Guide
By default, MapXtreme applications look in the following directories for data files:
• C:\Program Files\Common Files\MapInfo\MapXtreme\7.x.x—This is the directory the
MapXtreme installer places these files.
• The directory where your application is located. For a Windows application, this is the directory
where the .exe file is located. For web applications, this is the directory where the Web.config file
is located.
• MapInfo.CoreEngine assembly folder—This directory is the last place any application looks.
The list of directories corresponding to the above locations is obtained via the
ISessions.AppDataPaths property which returns the list as an array of strings. While you cannot add
to this list programmatically, you can add to it by defining a custom section in the application’s
configuration file. This is illustrated in the sample code below. Note that the order in which additional
paths are defined determines the order in which they are searched, and all custom locations are
searched before the default locations listed above.
The following example shows the <SpecialPath> tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="MapInfo.CoreEngine"
type="MapInfo.Engine.ConfigSectionHandler,
MapInfo.CoreEngine, Version=6.8.0.536, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=93e298a0f6b95eb1" />
</configSections>
