Custom editing

[joaquinfernandez]

Hi All,

I am a Silverlight newbie here so be forewarned. I have looked at the samples in the SDK for editing And was able to get all the samples to work, But they use xaml and binding stuff.  On the online doc under custom editing solutions it mentions that it can be done but has no examples. Does anyone have an example using code behind to just create a simple polyline, or link that can point me in the right direction?   I am using VS2010 with VB.
My goal is to do the following.

1. Add (Line, Polygon & point.)
2. Select
3. edit

Thanks a whole lot in advance.
Jack.

Did you look at this sample which adds graphics by code?

Yes, again forgive all my newbie questions but is graphics layer the same as feature layer and if not can you move data from one to the other?

You can create a new feature in your feature layer and pass the geometry of the graphic to the newly created feature.

Hi..
you can use esri widgetEditor
please take a look at http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#ToolkitEditorWidget
it can perform your goal and save feature to database.

if you want to programmatically use the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Editor  and binding to xaml button

GraphicsLayer is the base class of FeatureLayer. So the sample codes working with GraphicsLayer should also work with FeatureLayer.

FeatureLayer adds mainly the capability to get/store graphics from/to a feature service.
