Override basemap maximum scale?

KarenEllett — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:33:15 GMT

Is it possible to alter the code in the Map.xml file (or elsewhere) to force the application to allow the user to zoom in farther than the basemaps limits? I understand that the basemap wouldn't display or look right, but we have some very intricate, high res spatial relationships that need to be displayed. Currently I can't get it to zoom in enough.

(I apologize for yet another question! I promise that I scour the forums, the internet, and all resources I can trying to figure it out myself before I bother you guys.)

Thanks!

Try setting the minimum resolution of the map in a behavior or a tool.

MapApplication.Current.Map.MinimumResolution = Double.Epsilon;

Thanks,
Jeff

<<<Very new to Silverlight Viewer, could someone direct me to where to find this in my application? I went to Inetpub/wwwroot\Applications\TESTApp\Config and then opened my Map XML document, did a search for the
"MapApplication.Current.Map.MinimumResolution = Double.Epsilon;" as Jeff mentioned and found nothing written that matches even "MapApplication".>>>>

Nevermind, I figured it out, I just deleted all of the extent and Esri Tiled map services from it since I have a basemap already and that took out the maximum zoom extent since my basemap allows for zooming in very closely.
