...Good afternoon.
Add my two cents worth - hope it will help. With such a problem I encountered when translating my application with the UserCS to the CS with WKID=102100 (Web Mercator). Long to understand, make a new application with my old code - nothing helped. It turned out everything is simple - in application present an OverviewMap in UserCS. After the change the layer of OverviewMap with WKID=102100 error no longer occur. In a standard template standard.zip also present OverviewMap and by default it is present World_Street_Map in coordinate system WKID=102100. I think it may cause an error, if the work map in another coordinate system.
