Where does the kml file loading process occur?

RobWag

Hello, I'm still quite new with the ArcGIS SDK.

I'm loading a kml file into my application to display its content in a xaml treeview. And it works fine.

But unfortunately if the kml file is very large then my application freezes during the loading process.

That's why I decided to outsource the loading process into another thread. But I don't know where the loading process exactly occurs.

I open a file dialog and parse the content of the kml file into a kmlTree.

OpenFileDialog openFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
openFileDialog.Filter = "KML File|*.kml";
openFileDialog.Title = "Open KML file:";
Nullable<bool> dialogResult = openFileDialog.ShowDialog();
if (dialogResult == true)
{
   string path = openFileDialog.FileName;
   Uri kmlUri = new Uri(path);
   Dataset = new KmlDataset(kmlUri);
   KmlLayer layer = new KmlLayer(Dataset);
   SavesTreeToLayer.Add(kmlTree, layer);
   mapView.Map.OperationalLayers.Add(layer);
}

 

Does anybody have an idea?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Do you mean your loading process or ArcGIS Runtime parsing the KML contents?

Can you share any code?
