ClassBreaksRenderer using a date

[LanceCrumbliss]

Hello all,

Using XAML (and any required code behind or valueconverter) how can I utilize a date (datetime datatype) value for the max/min properties for the classes in a ClassBreaksRenderer?  Using the values in the date field of a FeauterLayer, I'd like to be able to break the symbology down into the past day (a green MarkerSymbol), the past week (an orange MarkerSymbol), the past month (a yellow MarkerSymbol), and the past year (a white MarkerSymbol).

For time-aware layers, you can use TimeClassBreaksAger, it is similar to ClassBreaksRenderer, except there is TimeUnits associated to MinimumAge and MaximumAge: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.TimeClassB...

With the time extent set on map load:

Map1.TimeExtent = New TimeExtent(Date.Now.AddDays(-90), Date.Now)

Displays only the black symbols (the ObservationRender symbol) on the map.  What am I missing?

You can look at the time-aware layers sample in the SDK: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#TimeFeatureLayer. Notice that Map.TimeExtent is set using TimeSlider and TimeSlider Min/Max/Value are based on Layer's TimeExtent.

        <esri:Map x:Name="MyMap" WrapAround="True"
                  TimeExtent="{Binding ElementName=MyTimeSlider, Path=Value}">
<!-- more code goes here -->

        <esri:TimeSlider x:Name="MyTimeSlider" 
      Height="20" TimeMode="TimeExtent"
                        MinimumValue="{Binding ElementName=MyMap, Path=Layers[EarthquakesLayer].TimeExtent.Start, Mode=OneWay}" 
         MaximumValue="{Binding ElementName=MyMap, Path=Layers[EarthquakesLayer].TimeExtent.End, Mode=OneWay}"
                        Value="{Binding ElementName=MyMap, Path=Layers[EarthquakesLayer].TimeExtent, Mode=OneWay}" >
                    </esri:TimeSlider>

Upgrading to v2.4 from v2.2 solved it using the original code.
