I tried to switch to a css flexbox layout for my overall web page layout and the map behaves very very poorly. I tried different combinations of positions and flex options, but the map either ignores other blocks, shrinks down to a small square, or only fills the screen in one direction. Has anyone successfully done this? The only way I can really get the map positioned where I want it is I use position: fixed on the map div and work around it, and that doesn't work with flexbox. btw, I am on 3.18. ... View more

I can't seem to run any of the tools from the Cacheworx ( http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=1f66b212056744b384a8ad0ccb8e00ac ) toolbox on Arcmap 10.3.1. It seems like the toolbox is running an exe called cache_worx.exe underneath each tool which is failing with no good errors in the geoprocessor. I looked at the Windows Event log and found two events related to the failure. 1. Faulting application name cache_worx.exe etc etc Faulting module name: gdal110.dll etc etc Exception Code: 0xc000001d 2. Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on the computer, or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program cache_worx.exe because of this error. etc etc etc I tried moving the toolbox to my local drive, as well as moving my test cache to the local drive. I also reinstalled the C++ redistributables. No dice. I wonder if it's gdal related? I don't have any other gdal libraries installed. Any ideas? Thanks! ... View more

Hello all, Is there any way to export data from a .NET runtime application to KML, a shapefile, or a file geodatabase? If so, can you do it without server interaction? Thanks, Ken ... View more

Hi all, I've been working on understanding the new .NET api and how it works with MVVM. (I previously worked with the WPF api and my team used MVVM with no problems.) I'm trying to understand why the MapView was split from the Map and how I should route events to the ViewModel. So far I have 3 approaches I've been looking at: 1. Do all event handling in code behind. (Ugg.) Use an event messenger to communicate with the ViewModel if it can't be avoided. 2. Use a Map Controller pattern, as outlined in this post: [blogpost] Navigating the MapView from a ViewModel​ Do all work in the ViewModel, no code behind. 3. Create my Map and MapView in the ViewModel, bind a ContentControl in the View to display the MapView. Do all work in the ViewModel, no code behind. I am leaning towards #3... it worked for my team in the WPF runtime when we just had a single Map control. #2 seems like a lot of code for what it does. Does anyone know if there are any problems with the third approach? I know it's a little fishy to instantiate a UI element in a ViewModel, but I feel like that is less fishy than creating an elaborate dependency property Map Controller. Thanks! ... View more

Hi all, Came across a peculiar behavior with the Overview example. Overview Map | ArcGIS for Developers When I'm remote desktopped into my dev workstation and I run the sample it freezes during the ExtentChanged event. It seems to be dying somewhere in the overviewMap.SetViewAsync. One of my CPUs goes to max, and the application must be killed. The problem isn't consistent, sometimes the app freezes on the first extent change, sometimes it takes a few seconds of roaming around.  When I run the sample from a physical workstation, the sample works with no issues. I am wondering if there is some sort of latency issue with multiple MapViews firing their SetViewAsync at the same time? I also tried copying my app into a VM and it happened there as well. I could see this being a problem for my own app eventually, I want an overview and I can't control where and when people will run my application. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to get around this or if a fix is in the works? Thanks! -Ken ... View more
