Feature layer publish, Display in WPF app

[xariaD]

We have a feature layer, which we intend to publish using ArcGIS Server.
We have a WPF application which displays maps. This feature layer is to be overlayed upon the map.
The feature layers represents certain units installed at particular locations. We have the co-ordinates of these units.

The units have different state eg Enabled/disabled. We wish to represent the enabled units with different icon and disabled with different icon. Obviously the state is obtained dynamically. How to achieve this?
Also, Upon clicking these units on the map some function should be performed.
How do we determine which unit has been clicked?

But does 2.0 support VS 2008? I see the minimum install is VS 2010 and I m using WPF not silverlight.
We are using Expression Blend 3 .

VS2010 is only required for the Silverlight portion. You can continue to use VS2008 if you are doing WPF.

We have a map in AutoCAD.
For our application we do not need to display the city map. We just need to display the area of our concern.
Now we were able to convert the AutoCad to mxd.
But this AutoCad file has co-ordinates of its own and is not using Spatial reference or WKID.

We created another layer, from this mxd to display as feature layer for our WPF application.
Then we created a web application on the ArcGIS server and the layer displays, but it does not display on the wpf app.
I have upgraded the API to 2.0 still it will not display:(

[dotMorten_esri]

You can display a layer without a spatial reference by itself. However, if you want to overlay it on another map, it must have a valid spatial reference associated with it, so the map knows how to reproject the data to match the basemap.

[xariaD]

So then the feature layer is alright.

Below is the code for our map display:
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" ShowGridLines="False">
        <Grid.Resources>
        <esriSymbols:SimpleMarkerSymbol  x:Key="MyMarkerSymbol" x:Name="MyMarkerSymbol" Color="Green" Style="Diamond" Size="14" />
    </Grid.Resources>


  <esri:Map x:Name="MyMap" Background="White" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="2"
                  Margin="15" Initialized="MyMap_Initialized" ExtentChanged="MyMap_ExtentChanged"
                  ZoomDuration="00:00:00" PanDuration="00:00:00"
                  Extent="6100,-3200,7189,-163" Loaded="MyMap_Loaded">
         
            <esri:Map.Layers>
                <esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer x:Name="StreetMap" ID="Street"
                                              Url="http://10.1.3.127/ArcGIS/rest/services/mybasemap/MapServer" />
                <esri:FeatureLayer Visible="True" ID="myLocationLayer" x:Name="myLocation"
                                   Url="http://10.1.3.127/ArcGIS/rest/services/myFeaturelayer/MapServer/0"
                                   MouseLeftButtonDown="TowerLocation_MouseLeftButtonDown"
                                   FeatureSymbol="{StaticResource MyMarkerSymbol}"/>

            </esri:Map.Layers>        
        </esri:Map>

Upon debugging  I found out that Initialized has two layers: ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer  and Featurelayer.
What is wrong? Why can't the app display the feature layer :((

Update:

Okay I am able to show the feature layer in my WPF app now.
But it is not displaying correctly.
My features are supposed to be horizontal but they are displaying vertically.
Also the labels(annotation) are not being displayed.

[DominiqueBroux]

I noticed that the geometry of your feature layer was of type polygon :

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

and that you were using a marker symbol

FeatureSymbol="{StaticResource MyMarkerSymbol}"

You should use a fill symbol instead.

My features are supposed to be horizontal but they are displaying vertically.

Could you give more info about this issue?

Also the labels(annotation) are not being displayed.

I am not sure on how the annotation layers are managed with API 2.0. Need to wait for Morten's answer.

Yeah that is what I did and then I could see the features.

I think North is not aligned with the DynamicMapLayer. Coz for the DynamicLayer North is pointing towards the right of the screen. but I believe for the feature layer North is towards the top of screen.

Please guide me what, where should I be looking at????
:confused: 😞
