My code <dockPane id="MyAddin_DockPanes_LayersDkp" caption="Layers" className="DockPanes.LayersDkpViewModel" dock="group" dockWith="esri_core_contentsDockPane"> I then clean and rebuild the addin. I open new map project and notice that my DockPane is not present in any pane. I click on the button in my addin and my custom DockPane appears on the right while my Pro Contents pane is on the left. I remember struggling with this several years ago and thought I had to clear some cache or a settings file.   ... View more

I have cleaned and rebuilt the app several times and still doesnt work. Actually, in the Options>Addin Manager I also deleted the Addin then rebuilt and still not working. ... View more

Ok here is what i have an it seems to work without exceptions. I haven't tried sending this to my GP so that's the second part of the challenge. // do the basic clone of the layer Map map = null; FeatureLayer cloneFeatLayer = null; await QueuedTask.Run(() => { // we create the layer and do not display in the active map but instead we will // create a map in memory and add the layer to this temporary map. map = MapFactory.Instance.CreateMap("ForCloneLayer", MapType.Map); // get the URI of the original layer Uri uri = originalFeatLayer.GetPath(); Debug.Print($"uri=[{uri}]"); // create feature layer creation parameters. for this routine we will only need the basics. var flyrCreatnParam = new FeatureLayerCreationParams(uri) { Name = originalFeatLayer.Name + "_Cloned", IsVisible = false, DefinitionQuery = null, //MinimumScale = 1000000, //MaximumScale = 5000, //DefinitionQuery = new DefinitionQuery(whereClause: "Population > 100000", name: "More than 100k"), //RendererDefinition = new SimpleRendererDefinition() //{ // SymbolTemplate = SymbolFactory.Instance.ConstructPointSymbol(CIMColor.CreateRGBColor(255, 0, 0), 8, SimpleMarkerStyle.Hexagon).MakeSymbolReference() //} }; cloneFeatLayer = LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer<FeatureLayer>(flyrCreatnParam, map); });   Then calling it like so // test the cloning FeatureLayer originCloneLayer = await lyrOrigin.GetBasicClone(); originCloneLayer = null; // just for testing GC.Collect(); GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();       ...

What about creating a map in memory and adding the layer to that?  ... View more

I'm not sure this is the routine that will give me what i need. I need to clone a feature layer so that I can manipulate it before sending it to a GP. Essentially I want to use a temp layer that is  not to be added to the map. In ArcGIS 10 I did this and it worked great: If pOriginalFeatLayer Is Nothing Then Throw New ArgumentNullException(NameOf(pOriginalFeatLayer)) 'get the feature class (Or feature table) from original layer Dim pFeatClass As IFeatureClass = pOriginalFeatLayer.FeatureClass 'create a New FeatureLayer using the same feature class/table (this creates a layer pointing to the same data) Dim pCloneFeatLayer As IFeatureLayer = New FeatureLayer With {.FeatureClass = pFeatClass} 'copy basic properties pCloneFeatLayer.Name = pOriginalFeatLayer.Name + "_Cloned" 'new name It's just a layer in memory that is for temporay6 work and therefore not needed to be in the map.   ...

ok let me give that a try. ... View more

yes Please add this functionality. Many times I start out with Project_Apr2020 and then later someone decides to ask for an update. the best thin g for me would be to just copy the entire project to Project_Dec2023 with all the associated files renamed as such. ... View more

One more follow up. I wanted to change the label to say "3 airports found". That required an escape sequence {}, otherwise the initial curly brace will not compile. <Label x:Name="lblAptCount" Content="{Binding Path=DvAirports.Count}" ContentStringFormat="{}{0} airports found" ToolTip="Number of airports found near origin airport" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" RenderTransformOrigin="1.239,5.789" Margin="0,134,0,0" Width="207"/>  {}  ...

@GKmieliauskas thank you! lord have mercy. I checked several articles and I could have sworn I looked only at Labels. Maybe I need more sleep. ... View more

Actually I found the possible source of all my problems. I suspect that many other devs might also make this simple mistake.  //create the parameter list for the GP List<object> vals = new List<object>(); vals.Add(lyrProximity); //in_layer: the selection will be applied to this layer vals.Add("WITHIN_A_DISTANCE_GEODESIC"); //overlap_type: we want features within a geodesic distance vals.Add(lyrOrigin); //select_features: this is the source vals.Add(radiusInNm.ToString() + " NAUTICALMILES"); //search_distance: search within xNM of the source vals.Add("NEW_SELECTION"); //selection_type: new selection vals.Add("NOT_INVERT"); //invert_spatial_relationship: do not invert selection //var parameters = Geoprocessing.MakeValueArray(vals); //compiles but does not work var parameters = Geoprocessing.MakeValueArray(vals.ToArray()); //compiles and works IGPResult gpResult = await Geoprocessing.ExecuteToolAsync("SelectLayerByLocation_management", parameters);     ...

Actually I found the possible source of all my problems. I suspect that many other devs might also make this simple mistake. The function MakeValueArray takes as its input a variable number of objects as an array. I thought that if i passed it a List of Objects it would work as well. It does compile so merrily I went along. However, it is reading the List of Objects as a single object. What I needed to do was convert that List of Objects to an Array of objects AND then pass that to the GP tool. Example:   //create the parameter list for the GP List<object> vals = new List<object>(); vals.Add(lyrProximity); //in_layer: the selection will be applied to this layer vals.Add("WITHIN_A_DISTANCE_GEODESIC"); //overlap_type: we want features within a geodesic distance vals.Add(lyrOrigin); //select_features: this is the source vals.Add(radiusInNm.ToString() + " NAUTICALMILES"); //search_distance: search within xNM of the source vals.Add("NEW_SELECTION"); //selection_type: new selection vals.Add("NOT_INVERT"); //invert_spatial_relationship: do not invert selection //var parameters = Geoprocessing.MakeValueArray(vals); //compiles but does not work var parameters = Geoprocessing.MakeValueArray(vals.ToArray()); //compiles and works IGPResult gpResult = await Geoprocessing.ExecuteToolAsync("SelectLayerByLocation_management", parameters);       ...

@GKmieliauskas @CharlesMacleod well that seemed to work. thanks!!! The only thing I did different was change my classes from BasicFeatureLayer to FeatureLayer. I wonder if the GP tools just dont work with the BasicFeatureLayer class. ... View more
