The published 10.3 pre-release docs  http://pro.arcgis.com/en/administering/system-requirements/arcobjects-sdk-system-requirements.htm mention every edition of VS 2013 except the Community Edition.  I've got no reason to think that this edition would be excluded, but it would be nice to hear from someone who actually knows if it'll be supported when 10.3 ships. ...

It's easy to control UI behavior when a user seeks to close ArcMap because you can handle the BeforeCloseDocument event. It's harder to see how to do the same when a user seeks to save a document (or use save as.)   The OnSave event lets you serialize info into the document as it's saving, but doesn't appear to give you any choice about whether the process of saving the document should continue.  Other than replacing the default ESRI save and save as menu items, recreating the dialogs, and then saving the documents via our own code, is there an event we can trap to control this behavior? In our shop as in others, there are good and bad places to store documents, and we'd like to provide some subtle guidance to our users 😉 Charlie Richman District of Columbia Office of Planning ...

Our test WCF service works just fine from a VS 2010 stand-alone Windows Form app but generates a run-time error whenever we try to instantiate an object via the generated proxy classes in a VS 2010 ArcGIS add-in project extension.  In each case I added the WCF service as a new service reference.  The projects compile, and the Windows Forms app runs without error.  When I try to initialize an object to a new OPTrackingClient() in my add-in extension I get "Could not find default endpoint element that references contract OPTS.IOPTracking" in the ServiceModel client configuration section.  This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element."  I checked the relevant bits of the two app.config files and they appear to match:              <wsHttpBinding>                 <binding name="WSHttpBinding_IOPTracking" closeTimeout="00:01:00"                     openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"                     bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"                     maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"                     messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"                     allowCookies="false">                     <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"                         maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />                     <reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00"                         enabled="false" />                     <security mode="Message">                         <transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None"                             realm="" />                         <message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"                             algorithmSuite="Default" />                     </security>                 </binding>             </wsHttpBinding>         </bindings>         <client>             <endpoint address="http://opnas01.op.dcgov.priv/optoolsservices/OPTracking.svc"                 binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IOPTracking"                 contract="OPTS.IOPTracking" name="WSHttpBinding_IOPTracking">                 <identity>                     <servicePrincipalName value="host/opnas01.op.dcgov.priv" />                 </identity>             </endpoint>         </client> Is there some other bit of configuration I need to do to allow ArcMap (and my extension) to tap this WCF service successfully?  Can ArcMap make use of this config info effectively, or do I need a different approach?

I'm currently querying 6,000 or so polygons from a service as part of my app startup, adding them to a "local" featurelayer via a featurecollection, and using them effectively for local data editing and exploration. Performance on panning would be better, though, if I could render the unedited polygons on the server and only the edited ones locally.  Before I explore that route, though I'd like to understand  the limitations on definition query complexity.  We might have several hundred edits (out of 6,000).  Could I feed a definition query to the server that amounted to "give me everything except these 295 specific features?".  (Past experience makes me suspicious of long definition queries.)

No, not the election. I'm editing  a locally-instantiated featurelayer (populated using a featurecolleciton). I trap the editor graphicsMoveStop event and also set listeners for the Flash MOUSE_UP mouse event on each of the features that are being moved.  (I do this because I really don't want them to be moved at all -- I push them back to where they started but run a query on the location where the mouse up event occurred and transfer attributes from the results to the layer I'm editing. The challenge is that the MOUSE_UP events don't always fire when features are dragged.  They virtually always do with a single feature selected, but as we get towards having a dozen or two features selected they generally don't.  The editor event does fire in each case.  Is this a timing issue where if the mouse event doesn't fire before the editor event fires it will never fire?   Is there some way I can reliably capture the location where the mouse was released when dragging my features around?  I use listeners on the individual graphics instead of on the entire layer because I need to know whether the mouse event is triggered by dragging features to a new location or by clicking elsewhere to select something else.  (It isn't enough to know where the event occurs -- I need to know if features were dragged there or if something else was clicked there.) ...

I'm sure this is obvious... but I don't see it! I have a FeatureLayer that I populate via its FeatureCollection.  I trap the selectionComplete event and set tooltips for the selected features. (They're selected by IDs.)  Each selection event creates a new selection set (with my tooltips), but the tooltips from the prior selection remain. I've tried trapping the selectionClear event, but it doesn't seem to be called automatically; even when I call it myself the features collection seems to be null, so I can't iterate through it to remove the stale tooltips. I'm sure there's got to be an easy way to do this... Thanks, Charlie Richman DC Office of Planning ... View more
