ArcObjects: The Open Customization Environment Within ArcGIS
The technology framework of ArcGIS, known as ArcObjects, is a set of components developers use to programmatically enhance and extend ArcInfo, ArcEditor and ArcView. ArcObjects technology is based on the Component Object Model (COM). With ArcObjects, developers can add new tools or work flows to ArcInfo, ArcEditor, or ArcView software or extend the ArcGIS data model by adding new custom feature types.
A licensed copy of either ArcInfo, ArcEditor, or ArcView is required to use ArcObjects.
