Silverlight URL

stevemiller — Fri, 06 Sep 2013 10:57:40 GMT

I have the Silverlight application builder installed to serve out maps internally to our organization. What I'm trying to do is construct a url that will load the web map and zoom to a specific Lat and Lng.

"http://myserver/apps/water" loads our water system map. I'd like to load the water map and then zoom to a location defined by Lat and Lng on the map.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve,

One way to change or define the initial extent is in the "Map.xml" file in the Config folder of your application.

Hope this helps!

Create a new behavior tool to do this.

Example code on how to do it. I supply the application with a BBOX querystring parameter (similar to WMS definition) and zoom to the area. You can modify this to zoom to a point in stead of an extent. Coordinates must be in the same format as the definition of the map (basemap defined this)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.Composition;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Browser;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Interactivity;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using ESRI.ArcGIS.Client;
using ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Extensibility;
using ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry;

namespace Behavior.Startup
{
    [Export(typeof(Behavior<Map>))]
    [DisplayName("Enable application to start with initial extent")]
    [Category("Behaviors")]
    [Description("Enable application to start with initial BBOX extent")]
    public class StartupExtentBehavior : Behavior<Map>
    {
        #region Behavior Overrides
        protected override void OnAttached()
        {
            base.OnAttached();

            MapApplication.Current.Map.Loaded += Map_Loaded;
        }

        protected override void OnDetaching()
        {
            MapApplication.Current.Map.Loaded -= Map_Loaded;
        }
        #endregion

        #region Events
        void Map_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            // BBOX in format: BBOX=minx,miny,maxx,maxy: Bounding box corners (lower left, upper right) in SRS units.
            if (HtmlPage.Document != null && HtmlPage.Document.QueryString.Count > 0 && HtmlPage.Document.QueryString["BBOX"] != null)
            {
                double[] bbox = new double[4];
                var val = HtmlPage.Document.QueryString["BBOX"].ToString();
                var dd = val.Split(',').Select(x => double.Parse(x));
                int i = 0;
                foreach (double d in dd)
                {
                    bbox = d;
                    i++;
                }
                Envelope newExtent = new Envelope(bbox[0], bbox[2], bbox[2], bbox[3]);
                MapApplication.Current.Map.ZoomTo(newExtent);
            }
        }
        #endregion
    }
}
