Query data and display without the user having to create the query

GerryGabrisch — Fri, 11 Oct 2013 22:51:42 GMT

I have a feature class of sample sites and I would like to generate a map for each sample site.

For example, the user would click a hotlink for a map showing sample site 1, a map would open, site 1 would be queried and only site 1 displayed on the map. The user would not have to generate the query.

Is this possible?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that is possible using a behavior. I have done something similar but with a regular tool that a user needs to click to run. You can have your link set with a parameter. http://yourserver/map/?SITE=site1
The code below will pull the parameter out to a string. Then you can pass this string into your query as needed. Hope this helps.

string querySite;
public void getParameters()
        {
            Dictionary<string, string> urlparams = HtmlPage.Document.QueryString as Dictionary<string, string>;
            urlparams.TryGetValue("SITE", out querySite);
            
        }

Brian,
Thanks for the information. Can you point me in the direction of some online help on the subject?

Gerry, that is something you will have to program yourself.

Another alternative could be to configure the different sites in application builder and then have a html page with hyperlinks to the various sites. Might be the easiest in your case.
