Nancititla,

Wow that sounds crazy but awesome. I would love to see the ending for this and get the code. It seems like if the dxf or dwg files are projected you could turn them into a graphic layer. Check out this post, the link I posted on this post has code that will show you how to browse and pick up a shapefile and load it. Beware I think it might only work for 2.0 release not sure if it can handle the 2.1 API

http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/20089-Using-custom-data-in-ArcGIS-Silverlight

Here's the code posted on the site to open a dialog box...not sure if you already got past this point or not but I think you could just change the extenstion .shp and .dbf to .dwg and .dwf. The site also has the dll for download that will take the shape and load into the app.

private void openFileDialog_Click( object sender, RoutedEventArgs e )
        {
            //Create the dialog allowing the user to select the "*.shp" and the "*.dbf" files
            OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
            ofd.Multiselect = true;

            if( !( ofd.ShowDialog() ?? false ) )
                return;

            //Get the file info objects for the SHP and the DBF file selected by the user
            FileInfo shapeFile = null;
            FileInfo dbfFile = null;
            foreach( FileInfo fi in ofd.Files )
            {
                if( fi.Extension.ToLower() == ".shp" )
                {
                    shapeFile = fi;
                }
                if( fi.Extension.ToLower() == ".dbf" )
                {
                    dbfFile = fi;
                }
            }

            //Read the SHP and DBF files into the ShapeFileReader
            ShapeFile shapeFileReader = new ShapeFile();
            if( shapeFile != null && dbfFile != null )
            {
                shapeFileReader.Read( shapeFile, dbfFile );
            }
            else
            {
                HtmlPage.Window.Alert( "Please select a SP and a DBF file to proceed." );
                return;
            }

            //Add the shapes from the shapefile into a graphics layer named "shapefileGraphicsLayer"
            //the greaphics layer should be present in the XAML or created earlier
            GraphicsLayer graphicsLayer = MyMap.Layers[ "shapefileGraphicsLayer" ] as GraphicsLayer;
            foreach( ShapeFileRecord record in shapeFileReader.Records )
            {
                Graphic graphic = record.ToGraphic();
                if( graphic != null )
                    graphicsLayer.Graphics.Add( graphic );
            }
        }

Good luck and please share your code if you dial this one in.

Thanks for the replay J, 🙂

I'll try your suggest, thanks

The site also has the dll for download that will take the shape and load into the app.
