silverlight maptips

[lyndamccallum]

I'm having an on going problem with maptips.

I have the follow layers defined in my xaml file where MyFeatureLayer is the maptips layer.

<esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="BaseMap" Url="{StaticResource BaseMap}" ></esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer>
            <esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer ID="BaseLayer" Url="{StaticResource WDPurl}"></esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer>
           
            <esri:GraphicsLayer  ID="MyGraphicsLayer"/>
            <esri:GraphicsLayer  ID="FlashFeatureLayer"/>   
                       
               
            <esri:FeatureLayer ID="MyFeatureLayer" Url="{StaticResource FacilitiesLayerID}"  FeatureSymbol="{StaticResource DefaultNoMarkerSymbol}"  >


The problem is every time I put something in mygraphicslayer over an existing point, the maptip for the existing point won't say open long enough to allow me to click on the link within it. All points that are not covered with a feature in the mygraphicslayer work fine. Any ideas?

Another wierd thing is that I don't experience this behaviour when I run in debug mode only once the site is published.

Thanks

You might want to upgrade to v2.1 (if you can use SL4), there had been some bug fixes and other enhancements.

What's new in 2.1 http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/help/index.html#/What_s_new_in_2_1/016600000025000000/ includes this bug fix:
When MapTipHideDelay > 0, a MapTip disappears despite cursor still being on top of the MapTip upon initial mouse hover

You may be experiencing that the map tip does not remain open on initial mouse over, the succeeding mouse over should be okay. If however, you never see the map tip open at all, then it is a different issue altogether.
