Is there any print example that can be referenced for SL 4?

weiliang

I try to incorporate the print feature into our website (with SL 4, and ESRI API 2.0). I used the following code, but it direct me to the print dialog box only. How can I make a print template (e.g., http://citizengis.chesterfield.gov/) to print the current map extent with some controls (e.g, scale bar) into a pdf. Is there any easy way to do so or I must create a WCF service?

PrintDocument doc = new PrintDocument();
doc.PrintPage += (s, e) =>
{
e.PageVisual = MyMap
e.HasMorePages = false;
};
doc.Print("Map");

Many thanks,

Wei

Good afternoon, Jeff!

I just noticed that myself - the bounceback email ended up in my spam folder, so I didn't see it until this morning. I have resent the project using a large email attachment tool which doesn't actually email you the attachment, but merely a link to the attachment which resides on our servers. Hopefully that will pass your company filters, but if it doesn't, please let me know (at lchesley@oxfordcounty.ca) and I will send you the code unzipped.

Thanks, and have a great day!

In the meantime, I'd be happy to email the project to anyone who'd like to see it. Just post back with an email address that I can reach you at, and whether you'd like .zip or .rar.

Thanks!

Hello Lisa,

Lisa,

Thanks for sharing your code (grabbed it from the other thread)!

Looks like the process essentially is to:
1) create a smaller (dimension wise) map
2) match the extent
3) copy the various layers
4) print

Is this correct?

Thanks again.

wliang1 i am very interested on how your "Search" tool works, would you mind sharing that code?

Lisa could you send me the print code as well? sttuntman@hotmail.com

Thanks.

Good morning, all!

@Akilly, John, Brian - your projects are in the mail! My apologies for the delay - yesterday was a holiday up here. 🙂

@Martin - yes, that is correct. The reason I am creating a reasonably small map is that the user needs to be able to view the entire print sample on their screen - if they can't, the area they don't see will appear cut off on their printout. This is a problem, as many of my target users only have 1024x768 resolution, but the 'resolution' for a standard page is 816 x 1056 (reversed if they print in landscape). It's tricky to get exactly what they want without leaving a lot of whitespace on the page. If you try to print on larger pages, I imagine that you'd run into much the same problem.

Thank you all for your kind words and acknowledgements - I've gleaned much useful information from these forums, it's nice to be able to give back. 🙂

Good afternoon, all!

I have finally compressed my project down enough to post it here! Now included is a table of contents for the two dynamic layers on the map, based on the SOAP code from this thread:

The code I built on is posted in the third, fourth, and fifth posts in the thread.

I have tried the sample. Looks like "http://www.esri.com/schemas/ArcGIS/9.3" is not recognized. Is this link still good for reference? I replaced the reference with ArcGIS Client, the program built successfully. but when i tried to run the application, the app stops at

ArcGIS_SOAP_Silverlight.GetMapNameResponse _result = ((ArcGIS_SOAP_Silverlight.GetMapNameResponse)(base.EndInvoke("GetMapName", _args, result)));

and i got this error

I just add the reference into my project and copied the code and folders. The error is gone.

Thanks.

I still need to work on the layout of the print out. It is not properly scaled down and stretched on a letter size paper. Thanks again for sharing the code.

Hi. Lisa,

Thank you so much for sharing your code.
It looks really good!.
But my project is using "Feature layer".
If user click the feature layer on map, the print preview needs to show all highlighted map features as well.

It seems your code doesn't support feature layer...

Could you please help how I can handle this?

Thank you in advance.

LisaChesley

Good afternoon!

I don't have any experience with feature layers, but I'm going to look into that and I'll try to post something once I've sussed out what they are, exactly, and how they differ from dynamic and graphic layers.

Thanks for your patience!

Lisa

Ying1

The code works great!
However, I have a problem when printing the map with a graphic layer. In my application, I have a identify tool. When user click on the property, it gets highlighted and info is displayed. When creating the print map, the map has the highlighted graphic too which is what i wanted. Once the print map window is dismissed either from closing or printing, the graphic on the main map disappears. And, if user use the identify tool again, the app stops at the line where I add the graphic to the graphicsLayer on the main map. See attached document.

The app is ok if there is no graphics added to the print map. Looks like when the childwindow for print map got dismissed, it somehow destroy the graphiclayer in the main map or something.

Good morning!

I'm noticing that error myself. Have you upgraded to ArcGIS 10, or are you still using 9.whatever (we recently upgraded to 10)? I will be making a post about that myself, hopefully there are some answers to be found. Until I have answers, I have disable the printing of graphics in my applications as well.

Thanks for bringing that up!

Good afternoon!

I've taken a look at the feature layers, and they look like just a cross between a dynamic layer and graphics layer. I still don't have any available to use myself, so this is purely conjecture, but you should be able to accomodate them with the following steps:

1. In the MapPrintViewViewModel, add a new class (like DynamicMapLayerInformation) in the Custom Objects region. Call it something memorable, like FeatureLayerInformation, or something. Make sure it has as properties a string called url, and an ObservableCollection of type Graphic, called graphics, or something along that line. Depending on how you set up your feature layer, additional properties might be necessary. Don't forget to add this as a property to the view model, with VisibleLayers, which is a collection of DynamicLayerInformation, as your model.

2. In MainPage.xaml.cs, in the btnPrint_Click handler, in the foreach statement that is looping through the layers, add a new try/catch block under the graphics layer one, as follows:

try
{
FeatureLayer featureLayer = dLayer as FeatureLayer;
viewModel.<Name of your new property here>.Add(new <Name of your new object here>(<instantiate class here with properties from feature layer on map>));
}
catch {}

For the above, use the dynamic layer section as your model.

3. Back in the MapPrintViewViewModel.cs, in the CreateMap function, add a new case statement after the MapGraphics that is like the Dynamic layer one, but with your new feature layer object instead. Instead of using CreateDynamicLayer(), create a new function called CreateFeatureLayer(), and give it a return type of FeatureLayer, and in it, create a new Feature Layer, assign the Feature Layer properties as in CreateDynamicLayer, plus a GraphicCollection like in CreateGraphicsLayer().

That should do it (I hope).

Failing that, if you just want the graphics that the feature layer creates, with the hassle of creating the layer again, I think you could just duplicate the code for the GraphicsLayer, and creat a new GraphicsLayer with a Graphics property equal to the Graphics property from the Feature Layer.

Please let me know if that works, or if it even made any sense. 🙂

Thanks!
