Remarks

To link data that defines a set of territories as a DataSet object, use the LinkTerritories method on a DataSets collection.

Example

    Sub ShowWizard()
    Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
    objApp.Visible = True
    objApp.UserControl = True
    Dim objDS As MapPoint.DataSet


    With objApp.ActiveMap.DataSets
      'Show the Link Territories Wizard centered on the form
      Set objDS = .ShowLinkTerritoriesWizard
    End With
  End sub

Example using parameters

    Sub ShowWizard()
    Dim objApp As New MapPoint.Application
    objApp.Visible = True
    objApp.UserControl = True
    Dim strFile As String
    Dim objDS As MapPoint.DataSet


    With objApp.ActiveMap.DataSets
      'Excel sheet
      strFile = objApp.Path & "\Samples\Terrs.xls!Sheet1!A1:E127"
      Set objDS = .ShowLinkTerritoriesWizard(, strFile, , geoImportExcel)
    End With
  End sub
