query on startup

[NathalieNeagle]

I'm looking for a silverlight example similar to this JS example

I want to query a featrue before my map starts and select it and zoom to it.  The parameter would be in the url like:

http://myserver/myapp/myqueryfield=myvale

The map would load and zoom and select the feature.  I would pass in different values by changing the myvalue in the URL.

Does anyone know of a Silverlight example like this?

Silverlight has an interface to communicate with its container Html page.  To get an argument from the query string you can use:

Dictionary<string, string> urlparams = (Dictionary<string, string>)HtmlPage.Document.QueryString;

(HtmlPage is from System.Windows.Browser)

Once there just grab the parameter you want and send it off to your map query and zoom function.

Good Luck

You will need to write the query after InitializeComponent, which will work similar to the function initFunctionality() mentioned in JS example.

public MainPage()
{
    InitializeComponent();

   //your query
}
