I am not a programmer and i am new to this silverlight application. What i have to do?...any help is much appreciated. Thanks.:)

Hi Ernejun,

What i need is to add a measure tool so that the user could be able to measure distances on the map.

We are working on an "add-in" sample measure tool which should be available sometime mid-late February.

Hope this helps,

You can do it through an addin, but you would need to do some programming 😉 Here's an example...

****Measure tool command class***

    public class MeasureActionTool : ICommand
    {
        #region ICommand members
        public void Execute(object parameter)
        {
            SolidColorBrush b = new SolidColorBrush();
            b.Color = Colors.Orange;

            SimpleLineSymbol ls = new SimpleLineSymbol();
            ls.Color = b;
            ls.Width = 2;

            ViewerMeasureAction m = new ViewerMeasureAction()
            {
                LineSymbol = ls,
                MeasureMode = MeasureAction.Mode.Polyline,
                DisplayTotals = true,
                DistanceUnit = DistanceUnit.Feet,
            };

            m.Attach(MapApplication.Current.Map);

            m.Execute();
        }

        public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
        {
            // Return true so that the command can always be executed
            return true;
        }

        public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged;

        #endregion
    }

***Wrapper class for the Silverlight measure tool***

    public class ViewerMeasureAction : MeasureAction
    {
        public void Execute()
        {
            Invoke(null);
        }
    }
