Hi Raja,

In the sample you refer to the World Street Map is not part of the offline content. You can use the Sync GeoDatabase sample to create offline GeoDatabase and the ExportTileCache to get offline World Street Map tpk and use them both on your map while you work offline.

Hi Asser,

Thanks for your information and it was very helpful to me.

I have developed the offline map using sample link Sync/SaveTheBaySync (FeatureServer)  which was related to wildlife sightings. Now the thing is when i opened the offline map without internet connection i am getting the map in grid format along with saved data(like birds in the service). But i am not getting the background base map(like world street map) along with grid map.

can you please suggest me.

What I understand is you want to use World Street Map offline. In order to do so you will need to export it to runtime content as tpk file and add it to your app content and use it offline.

You can find more info about how to Create an offline map also the github .NET SDK samples have samples to show you how to do that. Download and build the store samples and check Offline > ExportTileCache sample.

Thanks,

Asser
