Load ECW Raster with Local Server 100.14

Question

I have been using Local Server SDK 100.12 (with arcgisruntime.localservices package 100.12 version), and I was able to load .ecw files without a problem. When I upgraded to 100.14, suddenly my application became unable to load the ecw files. Then I checked the automatically created Deployment file (ArcGISLocalServer_100.14.AGSDeployment) and saw that there is no node with the id="ProECWRasters". ArcGISLocalServer_100.12.AGSDeployment file had this node. So I tried putting these lines manually into the deployment file (inside the child packages of the note with id="ProRaster"): but the app still cannot load the ecw file. It does not raise any errors, just does nothing. My question is, did something change for loading ECW files with Local Server 100.14? I was able to load with Local server 100.12 but now I cannot. What is the difference & what should I do in the code or in the deployment file to be able to load ecw files again?

Hi,

I've reproduced the issue (just using a map package referencing an ECW dataset on disk) and have opened an issue for further investigation. Unfortunately I was so far unable to find a workaround.

Thanks

Hi,

1- No, the ecw file is not included in the .mpkx file. I create a RasterSublayerSource with the path of the .ecw file, then create an ArcGISMapImageSublayer with it to add as a layer.

2- I currently use ArcGIS Pro version 2.8 and the problem occurs when I use a mpkx created by this version. However I also tried using the sample "PointsofInterest.mpkx" file from the following example: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/wpf/sample-code/local-server-feature-layer/ ( Data link: https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=92ca5cdb3ff1461384bf80dc008e297b  )  And the result is same: The same code and the same data works fine with Local Server 100.12 and doesn't work with Local Server 100.14.
