How to customize the identify attribute to make a clickable URL?

[weiliang]

There is an attribute in one of our map layers that is actually a URL. How can I customize to make this attribute clickable and can navigate to this URL.

Thanks for your help!

Assuming you are using the DataGrid control to display the attributes, you can probably use DataGridTemplateColumn and bind the NavigateURL to your attribute.

Here is an example of using DataGridTemplateColumn :

Hope this helps,

Put a hyperlink in your maptip (assuming you have an attribute called "urlString" thats a string with the url:

<esri:GraphicsLayer>
  <esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTip>
    <Border Background="White" Padding="5" esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTipHideDelay="0:0:0.5">
      <HyperlinkButton Content="Click Here" NavigateUri="{Binding [urlString]}" />
    </Border>
  </esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTip>
</esri:GraphicsLayer>

Note binding expression will only work with Silverlight 4. If you are still using SL3, you will need to use the dictionary converter.

Thanks for your kindly reply, both Morten Nielsen and Scott Friedrich. I will try that.
