A simple ArcGIS Pro add-in that opens an "Add Data" dialog at a specified directory. I maintain a network directory of .lyr and .lyrx files that are used by my organization's GIS users. I created this so I can set the **InitialLocation ** property of the OpenItemDialog class to the location on our network where the layer files are kept.
This tool is also apart of the larger LRWRA add-in
Note: I am a novice .Net developer, at best. The add-in works, but feel free to let me know if you see any code that is "wrong" or just plain bad.
The InitialLocation property no longer works as of ArcGIS Pro 2.1. This had been identified by Esri as an issue to be addressed. See GeoNet discussion .
Clone or download the repository. Open Visual Studio 2015 or 2017, build solution, launch ArcGIS Pro and check the Add-Ins tab.
