Downloading ???layers??? from the Web Application (Flex),

I???m not sure if there might be a development that allows ???permitted??? users to download layers from the web application (built on Flex) and save them in their hard disks.

Thank you

Jamal,

Have a look at the data extract widget that comes with the viewer:

Many thanks for the answer Anthony. This is very helpful

My interest is to �??export�?� the full layer but not to extract part of it

Jamal,

There are various options that you could do to make this tool work for you:

A. Set the aoiselectionmethod to extent then when the user zooms to the full extent of the layer they will download the complete layer.

B. change the model running in the background so it does not perform a clip.

There is also another widget in the gallery that saves to shapefile but I may need updating to work with 3.1:

Many thanks Anthony for the answer.

I thought that there might be simple tool to execute this sort of things.

I�??m wondering why the very simple tools in the desktop application become quite difficult when it comes to work on web applications

how about exporting layers (as shape files) from silverlight?

Jamal,

I don't think there is anything out of the box that will do that in Silverlight, there is a thread here that talks about it but the solution given works on the clip and ship gp service I have already mentioned. Another option that is stated is to just create a link to a HTML web page where you can download the data or you could do it to a FTP site:
