Exception	Description
ArcGIS.Core.CalledOnWrongThreadException	This method or property must be called within the lambda passed to QueuedTask.Run.

Remarks

The following conversions are supported (the map referenced by the map item is tested): o Map -> Base map, Scene (Global), Scene (Local)
o BaseMap -> Map
o Scene (Global) -> Map
o Scene (Local) -> Map
Specifying an invalid conversion type will return false
Note: If MapConversionType.SceneGlobal is specified, if the map item's map spatial reference contains a vertical coordinate system, the VCS is checked to see if it is compatible with a global scene. If it is not, the method will also return false
