KmlLayer missing placemarks

TylerRothermund

I have a Kml file that I'm loading that has a few placemarks.  When I view the file in GoogleEarth I can see the placemarks but they are not showing in my silverlight arcgis control;  any ideas?

Using Ver 2.3.0.774

I tried using TextSymbols for the placemarks

Changing symbols on the fly is a great idea 🙂

but I'm having a zIndex issue with the TextSymbols showing below the other graphics.
You can see from the remarked out code that I tried to fix the zIndex and use a KmlPlaceMarkerSymbol, but no luck.

Unfortunately DrawOrder is not supported either (sorry about that ) and changing the zindex is not working because the graphics are not in the same GraphicsLayer.

One option is to change the layer order by moving the text placemarks after the polygons.
This code should work:

private void KmlLayer_Initialized(object sender, EventArgs e) {     KmlLayer kmlLayer = sender as KmlLayer;      var placemarkers = kmlLayer.Graphics.Where(g => g.Symbol is KmlPlaceMarkerSymbol).ToList();     placemarkers.ForEach(p => p.Symbol = new TextSymbol() { Text = p.Attributes["name"].ToString(), FontSize = 20, OffsetX = 5 * p.Attributes["name"].ToString().Count(), OffsetY = 8 });      var regions = kmlLayer.ChildLayers["FEMA Regions"] as KmlLayer;     if (regions != null)     {         // move placemarks layer at the end         var placemarks = regions.ChildLayers["Placemarks"];         if (placemarks != null)         {             regions.ChildLayers.Remove(placemarks);             regions.ChildLayers.Add(placemarks); // add it at the end         }     } }
