Hello all,

Is it possible to apply Buffer on Map if the Map Service which we are Using is of type ArcGISTiledMapService?

We are succeeded with Tiled Map,but unable to Apply Point Buffer for Dynamic Map.
we are using arcgis server for Silverlight 1.2 version.. and silverlight 3 version...

any ideas and suggestions Can be appreciated.... thanks in advance

The query task with a spatial filter is working if the map layer supports the query operation.

To know if a layer supports query, you can request the rest end point.

For example, with this tiled map service : http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Demographics/USA_Population_Density/MapServer
you can see that the layers supports the query (look at the bottom of the page) : http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Demographics/USA_Population_Density/MapServer/1

But this one doesn't support : http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer/0

Hi dbroux,
In my case I am using some graphics layer on the Base map layer to which I have performed some spatial query operations. Although my map service doesn't supprt Query still if I need to perform the buffer operations for the graphics layer, then in that case how that can be achieved. Any suggestions will be of great help. My map service is ArcGISDynamicMapService and I am using

ArcGIS Server 10.
Silverlight API 2.2.
VS 2010.

Thanks,
Saurabh.
