Load network layer from active analysis to the table of contents

PurposeNetwork analysis layers can be opened in ArcMap without loading their corresponding network layer. This add-in interrogates a network analysis layer to determine its associated network dataset, then the network dataset is loaded to the map as a network layer.

How to use

See How to use ArcGIS samples for help on compiling, setting up the debugger, and running the sample. If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.

  2. Compile the solution.
  3. Start ArcMap.
  4. Click Customize, then Customize Mode.
