ArcObjects

ArcObjects® is a development platform provided by ESRI® that allows developers of other applications to incorporate ArcView/ArcGIS® capability directly within their application. ArcObjects® is used to incorporate ArcView® functionalities into XMS software. This allows users to use ArcView® functionality within XMS software. In order to use ArcView® functionality, a current license of ArcView® must be installed. Without a license, much of the same functionality is available, the primary differences being that only the shapefile format is supported, and many of the selection and display capabilities are minimal.
