ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Editor Class And the ESRI Feature Layer

jonataspovoas — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 11:03:06 GMT

Hi,

I'm developing an Application to Online Map Editing, so i looked at the sample on this link : http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#EditToolsAutoSave.

I'd like to know a bit more about the FeatureLayer and the Editor Classes, and where can i find their class diagram? Is there Any more Samples of their usage?

You can look at the following documentation:

Editor http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Editor.html

FeatureLayer http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.FeatureLayer.html

Hi,

After reading this documentations i started this test application.

If you are looking into using these symbols for Editor.Add on GraphicsLayer. This is related thread: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/25176-Versatile-symbol-selector-for-drawing

As described in this document: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Editor~Add.html

You need one editor per layer for Add to be enabled. CommandParameter can either take a symbol for GraphicsLayer or feature type for FeatureLayer.

I managed to make the editor, now update to the code below, but somehow my feature service isn't comunicating well with my application.

When i use the application to Edit and save it, the changes (except fill symbols with crossed edges) are saved, and i can see it at the ArcGIS Server image and at the ArcCatalog, but other then area fill symbols, the other changes i saved don't show on the application if i refresh it.

What am i doing wrong?

I don't see where you set the CommandParameter for the Add button. If the Editor is working against a FeatureLayer, the CommandParameter must match a feature type in your service.

Hi Jennifer,

Is there a way to set the CommandParameter for my Add button to an extent or area. Right now my Add button allows the user to draw a polygon on the map, which is the geomtery type of the FeatureLayer I am editing against. This works okay, but I'd like to only allow the users to draw a rectangle, or extent on the map. I couldn't find in the documentation what all of the available feature types were.

Re: ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Editor Class And the ESRI Feature Layer

JenniferNery — Fri, 10 Dec 2021 20:44:33 GMT

Here's some documentation:
Editor.Add CommandParamater when working against FeatureLayer is expected to be a FeatureTypeId
http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Editor~Add.html
You can get access to your layer's FeatureType through FeatureLayer.LayerInfo.FeatureTypes, this value allows the layer renderer to determine what symbol to use for the given feature type.
http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.FeatureService.FeatureType_properties.html

Adding a shape (like rectangle) is not supported in Editor.Add, you would have to use Draw class with DrawMode.Rectangle. In Draw.DrawComplete, convert envelope to a polygon geometry and add type id attribute so your layer.Renderer can pick a symbol.

private void draw_DrawComplete(object sender, DrawEventArgs e)
{ 
 if (layer.LayerInfo.GeometryType == GeometryType.Polygon)
 {
  graphic.Attributes[layer.LayerInfo.TypeIdField] = typeId;
  Graphic graphic = new Graphic();
  Polygon polygon = e.Geometry is Polygon ? result as Polygon : new Polygon();
  if (e.Geometry is Envelope)
   polygon.Rings.Add(GetPointCollectionFromEnvelope(result as Envelope));
  graphic.Geometry = polygon;
  layer.Graphics.Add(graphic);
 }
}

private PointCollection GetPointCollectionFromEnvelope(Envelope env)
{
 PointCollection pc = new PointCollection();
 pc.Add(new MapPoint(env.XMin, env.YMin));
 pc.Add(new MapPoint(env.XMin, env.YMax));
 pc.Add(new MapPoint(env.XMax, env.YMax));
 pc.Add(new MapPoint(env.XMax, env.YMin));
 pc.Add(new MapPoint(env.XMin, env.YMin));
 return pc;
}

   }

Thanks Jennifer! That answers my question. I'll try doing it this way.
