loading ecw maps

LidorSommer

Hello,

Im new to arcgis runtime and all the idea of maps.

i have local ECW maps of (UTM projected) on my machine, and im trying to understand how i use them as basemaps, so i can draw points on them, get the points when user clicks on the map and etc.

From what i understand i need to load them as rasters, but this doesn't seem to work.

Anyone has exprience with this?

thanks!

Hi,

Welcome to ArcGIS Runtime and maps! Unfortunately ECW is not one of the currently supported raster formats. The list of supported formats is available here: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/layers/add-raster-data/#supported-raster-formats

Once you have the imagery in a supported format this sample will demonstrate how to add raster data from file: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/wpf/sample-code/raster-layer-file/   

Alternatively, if the imagery is not updated often and you have access to ArcGIS Pro then you could consider creating a map tile package (.tpkx) of the images. For more information, see https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/create-map-tile-package.htm 

 

Thanks
