[JulieBiju]

Hello...Advance thanks...Please help me to solve the issue specified below

    I drw a point on my map using the function below.Now i want to save these points long and lat to DB for future reference.How can i retrive point geometry?Help me for this Please

rivate Sub MyDrawObject_DrawComplete(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.DrawEventArgs)                        Dim graphicsLayer As GraphicsLayer = TryCast(MyMap.Layers("MyGraphicsLayer"), GraphicsLayer)         Dim graphic As New ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Graphic() With           {             .Geometry = args.Geometry,             .Symbol = _activeSymbol           }         graphicsLayer.Graphics.Add(graphic)       End Sub

You just need top cast your geometry to a MapPoint which has the X, Y coordinates.  Make sure you are in WGS 84 projection, if you are using Bing or AGS Online you will be in WebMercator.  Look in the projection namespace for the classes that will project from one to the other.  Also X is Longitude and Y is Latitude.  In this part of the world X of mid 50's, Y of mid 20's is what you should expect.

Apologizes if the VB is not correct, it has been a long time and this is done in a text editor, but I believe something like this

   Private Sub MyDrawObject_DrawComplete(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal args As ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.DrawEventArgs)           Dim graphicsLayer As GraphicsLayer = TryCast(MyMap.Layers("MyGraphicsLayer"), GraphicsLayer)         Dim graphic As New ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Graphic() With           {             .Geometry = args.Geometry,             .Symbol = _activeSymbol           }         graphicsLayer.Graphics.Add(graphic)    Dim mapPoint As MapPoint = TryCast(args.Geometry, MapPoint)  If mapPoint Is Not Nothing Then        ''Write out the points, make sure to convert to WGS 84 if in Web Mercator  End If       End Sub
