Sample Application Error

JoeQiu

Hi,

I am new to ArcGIS. I was trying to run the sample appliction, but I got the error below on my computer. I am using Windows 7 Enterprise with Service Pack 1, 64 bit OS and 8GB RAM on VMware. I really appreciate if someone can point out the problem.
Thanks,

Sample: LocalMap
Error: Failed to create Accelerated Display. Please check the display hardware and drivers meet the minimum requirements.

Runtime SDK for WPF

Hi,

In the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF the "Accelerated Display" is not supported on virtual machines due to the lack of graphics hardware support. The sample application explicitly uses the accelerated display option because it represents recommended best practice use of the API, but it does have the caveat of not supporting VMs and also not supporting custom XAML symbols or the KmlLayer. Unfortunately you will not be able to run the sample application on a VM.

As others have noted, in your own applications you can use the standard WPF rendering pipeline by setting Map.UseAcceleratedDisplay = False. The API also includes support for hardware acceleration of just a subset of layers in the Map via the AcceleratedDisplayLayers GroupLayer. It is worth checking that this is not used in your code.

As David commented, the new ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET which is currently released in BETA uses DirectX 11 and therefore can automatically make use of the WARP software rendering fall back when sufficient hardware is not detected. You can find out more about the new .NET SDK here: http://developersdev.arcgis.com/net/. Note the target release of the new .NET SDK is summer 2014.

Cheers

Mike

Yes, the exact same exception

Strange. CreateRenderSurface is not supposed to be called when UseAcceleratedDisplay is false.
How to you set UseAcceleratedDisplay? May be a binding that would kick in too late might explain the issue.

Note: it's also worth trying without setting UseAcceleratedDisplay since the default value is false.

Are you getting the exact same exception?

You can also just disable Accelerated Display on the Map object.

I have set UseAcceleratedDisplay="False", but it still got the same problem.
Thanks

Hi,

Accelerated display in not supported in VM machine.
For that scenario using .NET Runtime SDK is a better choice.

Hi David,

Do you know how to using .NET Runtime SDK?

Thanks,
Joe
