what's silverlight's equivalent to Flex FeatureLayer's applyEdits?

SteveLi — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 21:25:10 GMT

I am buidling a customized silverlight web editing app and I need a similiar function to

Flex Featurelayer:
public function applyEdits(adds:Array, updates:Array, deletes:Array, responder:IResponder = null):AsyncToken

I couldn't find a such method in silverlight featurelayer class. Can someone give suggestion on how to achieve the same result in silverlight?

Thanks.

The SL API equivalent method is FeatureLayer.SaveEdits() http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.FeatureLayer~SaveEdits.html.

As you can see, they don't have the same signature. This is because internally, the API would already know which edits you are trying to save, whether you've added/removed graphics, updated graphics' geometry and/or attributes. SaveEdits() will call an internal method EditTask.ApplyEdits() that accepts the same parameter as Flex counterpart.
