ABSTRACT
ArcObjects is the development platform for ArcGIS. Because ArcObjects is built using Microsoft’s COM (Component Object Model) technology, it is possible to use any COM-compliant development language with ArcObjects to customize applications in ArcGIS. This book adopts Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which is already embedded in ArcMap and ArcCatalog of ArcGIS. Other COM-compliant programming languages include Visual Basic and C++.
