IFormatList Interface

Provides access to members that contain information about all raster formats currently supported.

When To Use

The FormatList object contains information about all available raster formats. It can be used to access this information or to check if a particular file is a raster and determine its format.

This object will provide information about all native formats and any formats that have been added to ArcMap by external developers. Formats that have multiple possible file extensions may appear more than once in this list.
