ArcMap Server 9.x

ESRI supports all customizations that use the following ArcEngine libriaries: Carto, DataSourceFile, DataSourceGDB, DataSourceOleGDB, DataSourceRaster, Display, GeoDatabase, GeoDatabaseDistributed, Geometry, GISClient, Location, NetworkAnalysis, Output, Server, and System. ArcMap document customization that is reliant on anything outside of these libraries is not supported by ArcMap Server.

Any customization must be present in a new COM object. ArcMap Server does not support VBA code embedded within the map document.

Note:
Custom behavior or custom implementation of custom features and/or custom layers is not supported.
