how to use ArcMap symbols in Silverlight Graphics

AshakaThakore — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 20:02:09 GMT

I have added a graphics layer -
<esri:GraphicsLayer ID="NoResultsGraphicsLayer" Visible="False" >
                        <esri:GraphicsLayer.Graphics>
                            <esri:Graphic Symbol="ESRI SYMBOL - HAZARDOUS MAterials " >
                                <esri:MapPoint X="-8560100.001" Y="4734427.700" />
                            </esri:Graphic>
                        </esri:GraphicsLayer.Graphics>
                    </esri:GraphicsLayer>

Now i want to use the symbols that we have in Arcmap - like under CharacterMarkerSymbols we have "ESRI Hazardous Material", "ESRI Conservation. Now I want to use one of those symbols and for this graphics layer... how can i do that..
Also I want to be able to change the color of those symbols..

Pl help

thanks a lot

Two cases:

If you are using a FeatureLayer, you will automatically get the symbology defined in ArcMap (from ArcGIS server 10.0 though).

If you want to redefeine ths symbol from scratch for a local graphics layer, you can look at the symbol gallery . There is a lot of symbol samples. This is a good strating point to define yours.
