ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Printing Assembly

ShaunWeston — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 02:53:44 GMT

Just having a look at this and developing some printing and exporting functionality, however doesn't seem to work on local layers?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]15014[/ATTACH]

It works ok with layers on a web server, but when it comes to local dynamic, tiles or gps layers it comes up with the above error? Is this not possible yet with local services?

It seems that the Printing assembly currently provides a solution for printing and exporting only when working with ArcGIS Server layers.
I remember Esri saying that the printing capabilities for local data in Runtime will be available only post the 1.0 version.
Take a look at the following session from the latest Dev Summit that was held last March (specifically at the slide named "Print Task: supported layers in V3.0").
http://proceedings.esri.com/library/userconf/devsummit12/papers/advanced_development_warcgis_api_for_silverlight.pdf

It indeed refers to the Silverlight API, but the Printing assembly (as many others) is shared between this and the WPF API.

Hi,

The ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Printing assembly works with the ArcGIS for Server ExportWebMap Task (see http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/index.html?gp_exportwebmaptask.html). Unfortunately WebMaps do not currently support local layers.

However, we are working on a printing sample which will support local layers and hope to post this on the Resource Center gallery as soon as we can.

We're also considering a "copy to clipboard" style sample - I'd appreciate your feedback if you think this would be useful.

Cheers

Mike

Would it be possible to send your own JSON-string to the PrintTask only containing the information about the graphics of that layer? If so, could someone point me in the right direction? I'm using this sample as a frame:

It works great except with a layer I created on my own that inherits from GraphicsLayer.

Hello Mike, some customers here in Spain are looking forward to have this type of functionlity in the core SDK of WPF Runtime. At this moment, this is only possible using copy to clipboard tricks, or just using ArcGIS Server.

Since many runtime deployments are going to be made in cirscumstances without conectivity, it would be very useful to have some kind of simple printing capabilities in the core SDK.

Do you have plans to incorporate off-line internal printing/task capabilities in next realeases?

Thank you very much and kind regards,

Hi,

The print service accepts valid WebMaps and therefore I wouldn't expect it to support custom layers.

Hi,

Many thanks for your feedback, we are investigating ways in which we can improve client-side / offline printing for a future release.

If you can post your suggestion over at http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaList?category=ArcGIS+Runtime that will help us prioritize the requirements.

Cheers

Mike

G'day Mike,
Is there any word that local printing in the Runtime WPF / Java has been considered for the Runtime 10.1.1 or 10.2?

The standalone print functionality available in runtime will be a very valuable function it something we are running into our development and would prefer not to use the copy to clip board functionality

thanks
