Map Background Image

EnriqueIbarra — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:48:19 GMT

Is it possible?
I mean, I want to establish a common image as my Map Background; so if I turn off all my layers, the background image will be shown.

You can use an element layer and set the background image as an element of this layer: sample with a video.

Thanks Dominique! I haven't think in that, but can you show me how can I use this? the example show how to put a video, but I need an image, what properties do I have to set and how?

Finally i knew how do it. Within the Esri Map add an Esri ElementLayer and define the propertie ID, then add an Image control and set the source and the Esri ElementLayer Envelope. Like this:

<esri:Map x:Name="MyMap" WrapAround="True" Extent="-26976187.330, -7196067.417, 13098829.356, 13158690.900" Background="White" Foreground="White" MouseClick="MyMap_MouseClick" ExtentChanged="MyMap_ExtentChanged">                 <esri:ElementLayer ID="Background">                     <Image Source="/TestPage;component/Images/BackgroundGM1.jpg" esri:ElementLayer.Envelope="-26976187.330, -7196067.417, 13098829.356, 13158690.900"/>                 </esri:ElementLayer>
