When adding a shapefile as a layer its objects do not display properly on the basemap

Question

Sorry about the images. I can't take code as text out of the development environment.

We are converting an old system based on version 10 to the latest 100 version. When using a shapefile as a layer using this code:

We get this. But...

using the same files but the older version of the API I get the following. It looks like the projection is okay but the extent is messed up. How do I match the extent of the shapefile with the base-map?

Thanks so much for any help!

Michael,

Looking at the two layers as I try to display them I see the following WKTEXT for the map and for the layer I am about to add.

Once I add the layer AllLayers looks like the following.

Does that look right?

Thanks,

Steve

Steve,

Sorry - I read the first part involving "_emptyMpkPath" and assumed you were using the Local Server.

You are of course correct: you are using the direct API when using ShapefileFeatureTable.

The API should re-project on-the-fly to match the spatial reference of the map.

Possibly you need the additional 'Project Engine' files? (this is a guess, but worth a try I think)

Take a look at this topic which explains the additional PE files: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/spatial-and-data-analysis/spatial-references/
