Hi, Is there a way to get the user of my web app to select a point and then have the coordinate of that point written to a xls,txt or even a shapefile on my server? this idea is to have the user submit a point/line or rectangle as an area of interest that will be pushed to my server for further analysis later from arcmap. ...

When I add one of my services as a DynamicMapServiceLayer in my silverlight app is works fine but if I add it as a feature layer it will not display because when I run a 1=1 query on the service it fails and my server manager log gives me these errors Processing request took longer than the timeout for service 'Service'. Server request timed out. Check that the usage timeout is appropriately configured for such requests. Server Internal Server Error. Error handling service request: Transaction was rolled back, presumably because setRollbackOnly was called during a synchronization Internal Server Error. Error handling service request: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space Instance of service 'Service' failed to process a request. Instance of the service 'Service' crashed. This service is published in server 10.1 using desktop 10.1 and is an oracle 10g view in sde 9.3.1. Other views within this database are working fine as dynamic and feature layers. Does anyone have any clues on why this is happening? ... View more

I'm not sure if this should be on the SL or Server forum. However, I have Oracle layers in SDE that I would like to display live on my SL webmap. What is the fastest way to display them with popups/maptips as some of them are fairly large. Would it be by publishing them in a map service using a direct connection? Can I publish them directly to the SL app? Add them as mapservices or feature layers in my SL map? Would an oracle view work better than a layer? Any advice on the best way to get my oracle sde layers on my SL web map would help. Thanks everyone. ... View more

Can anyone point me in the right direction on changing the projection/coordinate system on an SDE layer from Geographic Coordinate System: GCS_WGS_1984 Datum:  D_WGS_1984  to  NAD_1983_StatePlane_Texas_Central_FIPS_4203_Feet Projection: Lambert_Conformal_Conic After i'm already connected to SDE. I'm writing an SOE in c# .Net to do this in version 10. Thanks. ... View more

Hi, I'm having trouble getting access to the tables in a SQL SDE database using c# .Net. Could anyone please post an example of a connection and then getting accessing a table. My main goal is to take a table from the database (which is a centerline shapefile I loaded) and change its projection. and take a different table and make it a dataset using IDataset or the geodatabse equivalent.Thanks. ...
