Creating a custom, local RouteTask

Question

Greetings,

I'm trying to replicate something similar to the WPF Runtime  "Routing with Barriers Online" sample with two major modifications ... 
1. I have my own network dataset (created from a feature class using ArcObjects classes)
2. I want it to run locally and not on an ArcGIS server instance. Can I exploit LocalServer for this?

First, can this be done? If so, what is the best approach? I have both the WPF runtime and ArcObjects SDK to work with.

Yes, I was able to create a gpk with a File geodatabase based network dataset. I contacted the Esri Technical support and they are looking into this bug.

Now the next step is to input parameters in ArcGIS Runtime for WPF application. The input being Network dataset, it doesn't appear in the required parameters on the LocalGeoprocessingService url page.

Thats my next issue.

Sorry for the late reply, I am now struggling with other issues regarding this.  Anyway, I learned that the Network Dataset needs to be in a File Geodatabase, rather than just a regular folder.  Once I made that change, the geoprocessing package was created with no problem.  I don't know if this will resolve your problem, though.  Unfortunately, the error messages related to using these Arc Objects are not exactly insightful.

I am having same issue. Works fine when packaging with Esri Data & Maps 10.1 network dataset (SDC network dataset).
Have you found a solution or fix for this ?
I am able to create the gpk using the above mentioned link instructions.  However, when I attempted to create a gpk using my own data, I got an error message each time (General function failure ERROR 999999: Error executing function). When I researched this error, I didn't find anything helpful.   
I am using a map document that contains a Network Dataset created from a Shapefile Feature class.
The settings that I use to create the package are . . .
    Support ArcGIS Runtime enabled (other two options are disabled)
    Summary and Tags detail filled in
Is there any way to find out more info on the error?  I don't know why it's failing, but I keep changing little details and trying it again.

Thanks,
Renee
