Or is it a bug? Or should I submit a feature enhancement?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- If I keep the map in WGS_1984, and bring in a Web_Mercator service, it doesn't even show up... so no using the current imagery that way.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>- All our maps and data are in California, so I need it to be accurate within that area.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I am hoping I am just missing something simple here... but any helping getting us moved to Web Mercator would be great!&nbsp; Thanks a lot!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 10 Apr 2011 01:49:47 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/measureaction-in-web-mercator-issues/m-p/228583#M5802 RyanCoodey 2011-04-10T01:49:47Z Re: MeasureAction in Web Mercator Issues... https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/measureaction-in-web-mercator-issues/m-p/228584#M5803 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>The measures will take care of&nbsp; web mercator spatial reference from the version 2.2 (not done in beta though).</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 06:31:18 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/measureaction-in-web-mercator-issues/m-p/228584#M5803 DominiqueBroux 2011-04-11T06:31:18Z Re: MeasureAction in Web Mercator Issues... https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-api-for-silverlight-questions/measureaction-in-web-mercator-issues/m-p/228585#M5804 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Dominique, that�??s music to my ears...
