How to zoom-in a selected feature

ShaningYu — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:13:53 GMT

In Flex, I used the following piece of code to zoom-in a selected feature:
map.centerAt(pt);
extent = new Extent(pt.x - x_offset, pt.y - y_offset, pt.x + x_offset, pt.y + y_offset);
map.extent = extent.expand(1.1);
where the expand method is used.
In SL, my code is below:
envelope = getEnvelope(fs); // that returns the envelope w/ XMin, YMIN, XMAX and YMAX
Map.Extent = envelope.Extent;
However, I could not find its expand method in the API.
If you know how to do, please help. Thanks.

You can call the map's ZoomTo(Geometry geometry), where geometry is the geometry of the selected feature. If the geometry is a MapPoint, you can call the map's ZoomToResolution(double Resolution, MapPoint center) or create an extent with the MapPoint first before passing to map's ZoomTo(Geometry geometry).

Jenniffer:
Thanks for your reply. Per your advice, I wrote the piece of code like that:
fs.Features[0].Geometry.SpatialReference = _Map.SpatialReference;
_Map.ZoomTo(fs.Features[0].Geometry);
Then it works very well.
Thanks.
