Display XY data from a DB

PaulHuppé — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:48:44 GMT

Hi,

Is there a way to display points where the lat/long comes from an Oracle table? My client has an MXD where they used an OLE DB connection to get point data stored in an Oracle table and display it on a map. Now, we would like to display this same data in our silverlight map application. How do we go about doing this?

Thanks,
Paul

Couldn't you just publish the mxd at server side?

If you are trying to do it at client side only, did you look at this 'Using PointDataSource' sample?
It demonstates how to create a graphics layer by binding to a source of items that reference location using X and Y values (but doesn't demonstrate how to use a OLE DB connection to populate the model though)

You could create a Geoprocessing Service using the "Make x/y Event Layer" tool and add the results to a graphics layer.
