GOOD APPLICATION BUT BASIC GIS TOOLS MISSING

warrenkinyua

Dear ESRI

Many thanks for silver light builder.The Application is very easy to use and Powerful but I cant find the following basic GIS Tools:

1.Measure Tool
2.Querry Tool
3.Find Tool
4.BookMarks Tool

Where can I get these add-inns without starting to code?

I greatly appreciate the attribute table functions

Regards

Many thanks Brian for the explanation. This came shortly before the measure add-in was added to the code gallery, so we've implemented the add-in rather than looking into the code.
Thanks again.

This can be found on ArcGIS.com here and is also available in the Viewer's code gallery. This is a production quality, ready-to-use tool with full source code included.

The new Measuring Add-in works great. Thanks for putting this out. It will be very beneficial for a lot of people.

One thing I noticed is that you have to run a tool before specifying your units of measurement. It would be nice to have that option before measuring. If I decide to use your tool I will change myself but others that do not have the knowledge how to due that may benefit from a future update to the tool to allow this.

Measure tool - that is coming soon and we will be posting that in the Code Gallery.

The first thing you need to learn is how to create/deploy a custom layout. This link, Creating a Custom Layout, explains that process.

You can place my code in different locations depending on where in the map you would like to see the measuring control panel. I used the accordian layout as my starting template. Create a copy of the accordian.xaml and name it whaterver you want. For my example You should find the area around line 571 that startes esri:map. This is where I implement my custom tools. Here is my code expanded a little so you can see where I implemented it. I actually have 2 tools in here. One is the measurinf tools and the other is a tranparency slide that changes the transparency of the selected layer. I changed both items to Visible so they will always show for you. You can take a look at the viewer help and samples for instructions to create a toggle to turn these on and off using an add-in. I'll be glad to answer any questions if I can.

Yes Gal, I agree

I try Brian's code with
http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/silverlightviewer/help/index.html#/Extending_the_ArcGIS_Viewer_for_Silverlight/017700000006000000/

http://video.esri.com/watch/1181/configuring-and-customizing-arcgis-viewer-for-silverlight/
but I need also first detailing step by step for beginners.

I think best to do it with Brian's code and some ArcGIS API fo SL samples.

BTW. What are future plans for developing Viewer and new features?

Oleg

GalAvraham

Brian, many thanks for sharing this tool. I was looking for such implementation.
Can you supply, for a non-programmer, a short explanation on how to add this functionality to an already deployed application? Where exactly in code one need to add this in order to have the measure tool available for the user?
Thanks in advance

Gal

BrianLeroux

I have developed a measuring tool by utilizing a custom layout template. I went this route because I liked the functionality of seeing the measurements on individual line segments. I also created a quick add-in that allows the Measuring Panel to be opened and closed but it is not necesary. Yuo can change the visibility of the MeasureBox Data Grid to Visible and it will remian open all the time. I've included a picture of this tool.

Yes, bookmarks work but my users can't to add or clear bookmark in Viewer like I did it with ArcGIS API fo SL sample

.

Sorry I'm novice in SL and VS but look like it is hard implement nice usefull ArcGIS API SL samples as Add-Ins to ArcGIS SL Viewer.

Sorry for my poor English.

Hi all
I'd like to also add that a few other basic functions would be nice, such as a 'previous extent' button and a map scale box where you could see the exact numeric scale or enter a new value. Also, the Gui to build a 'search by attributes' task is invaluable. Our users have come to expect these behaviors.

The Web ADF app builder in v10 AGS Manager was finally to the point where it included all the basic tool requirements to make a web map truly useable in a production environment with zero customization. It would be ideal if a comparison of the SL Builder (and Flex as well) would be made to the old Web ADF builder and all the same basic tools baked in.

Perhaps it just hasn't matured yet as pre-10 releases of the Web ADF builder were also missing some basic tools, so we have our fingers crossed.
Thanks, Gavin

Hi Satyajit,

Thanks for your (and everyone's) patience on the Measure tool. We have it in the works and are hoping to get it posted soon. We'll be sure to post an announcement here on the forum when it is out.

Katy

SatyajitDash

Thanks Katy,

I have also downloaded the Bookmark add-in and implemented successfully in my viewer.
I am desperately waiting for the Measure tool.

When can we expect the code for the measure tool.

Cheers,

Satyajit

Dear Katy

Many thanks Katy for the bookmarks add in. I have already added it to my application and working very well

Regards

KatherineDalton

Hi Warren,

I've gone ahead and added the Bookmarks add-in to our Code" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/silverlightviewer/gallery.html]Code Gallery. Once you download and extract the files, you'll find a text file describing how to use the sample, and the ".xap" file that is actually uploaded to the Application Builder. See the instructions found in Extending" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/silverlightviewer/help/index.html#/Extending_the_ArcGIS_Viewer_for_Silverlight/017700000006000000/]Extending the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight for uploading a xap (add-in) file.

Note that I can't upload the xap for each of our Samples since the majority of them are designed just as examples of coding practices, but Bookmarks happens to be one of the samples that can be used in a stand-alone sense.

Hope that helps,
Katy

warrenkinyua

Dear Katy

Thanks for the info. I will patiently wait for the measure tool.

I downloaded the BookMarks Tool but since am very new to this technology, am unable to add it to the builder.

Could you please take me through the process or refer me to a detailed tutorial

Regards

KatherineDalton

Hi Warren,

1. Measure tool - that is coming soon and we will be posting that in the Code Gallery.
2. Query tool - not provided, put other users may have put something together. You can also use the "Filter" functionality to see only the features that match a certain criteria.
3. Find tool - same, this is not provided but other users may have put something together.
4. Bookmark tool - we have a sample for this that you can download, compile, and add to the Application Builder. See the Toolkit section of our [url=http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/silverlightviewer/samples/start.html]Samples[/url] page.

Hope that helps,

Katy
