I am developing a Silverlight application to consum a ArcGIS 10.01 map service that contains a lot of different feature layers. The map service is like
In the map of the Silverlight application I want to at least: 1. use table of control the display/hide of the layer 2. control whether individual layer is in the table of control or not 3. control whether individual layer's display symbol 4. control the min/max scale 5. allow use to click on (or select rectangle) some layers and do spatial query to select features. 6. the order of the layers 7. use the min/max scale setting of the map service layers
Now I have two options on how I can add the layers to the map.
At this moment I don't know which way I should start the development with such that I can satisfy all the requirements, and also make the application easy to extent.
Can you give me some idea?
Thank you.
My development environment: -- .NET 4 -- C# and Visual Studio 2010 -- Silverlight 4 -- ESRI ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF -- ArcGIS server 10.01 map services
I decide to use a single ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer, because that provides better performance by generating image on client side on-the-fly.
Using individual features would have some drawbacks: the max/min scales in map service wouldn't work, more network traffic, and have a limit on the number of features in the map display.
