ArcGISLocalDynamicMapServiceLayer relative path doesn't work?

Question

Hello All, I have a vector.mpk in a folder called Packages which is under the main project. Then I used relative path to refer to the map package but didn't work. Can anybody tell me the correct format?

<esri:ArcGISLocalDynamicMapServiceLayer ID="Vector" Path="Packages\vector.mpk"/>

Thanks, 
Russel

Hi,

What is the actual error you receive?

The log file should be created in %temp%\ArcGISRuntimeLogs (e.g. C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\ArcGISRuntimeLogs).

Cheers

Thanks for your reply, Mike.

I double checked and have run a few more tests this morning. Yes, I used the Deployment Builder to deploy the app and made sure I checked the LocalServer for deployment. I placed all required .dlls and .mpk and .exe file alongside arcgisruntime10.1 folder. I used relative path for the mpk. But still unable to run it on the deployment machine which is a thinkpad tablet with Win 8 pro installed.

When i deploy the app, i checked the Enable Runtime Debug option, but I couldn't find a arcgisruntimelogging file on the deployment machine under %temp%.

what could be wrong? I start feeling frustrated. any further suggestions please.

Hi,

There are a few things to check:

- When deploying your application, have you created an ArcGISRuntime deployment with the Deployment Builder? 
- The deployment needs to include the LocalServer option. 
- The deployment is contained within a folder such as "arcgisruntime10.2" which should be placed alongside your application executable
- Relative paths to the map package (.MPK) are resolved relative to your application executable. 
- If you have chosen to reference the data when creating your Map Package you need to ensure that the same path is viable on your deployment machine (e.g. "C:\MyData\MapPackages\MyMapPackage.mpk").

You can also use the Local Server Utility accessed from the Start Screen/Menu to enable logging in the ArcGIS Runtime LocalServer. If you want to enable logging in your deployment you can switch this on when using the Deployment Builder.

Cheers
