How to find x,y of the point on the line feature in ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .Net?

Question

Dear Gurus!

There is a table of bridges, each bridge record specified identifier of the road and a kilometer from the beginning. How to determine the x,y coordinates of a bridge with help of ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .Net or any other lib? I use c# in .net.

Hi,

The scenario you are referring to is typically referred to as Linear Referencing. You have not said what type of app you are building (Desktop, Store or Phone) but for any of those APIs you may be able to find a way to achieve this with the GeometryEngine: GeometryEngine Class

If you are using the Desktop API you also have the LocalServer available which supports the following Geoprocessing tools for Linear Referencing:

Calibrate Routes

Create Routes

Dissolve Route Events

Locate Features Along Routes

Make Route Event Layer

Overlay Route Events

Transform Route Events

The tool which would help is is 'Locate Features Along Routes': ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)

Once you have created your geoprocessing model/script you will need to package it for use in the ArcGIS Runtime - ArcGIS Help (10.2, 10.2.1, and 10.2.2)

Cheers
