Tiled map service and zooming.

[SanajyJadhav]

Hi,

I know that this issue has been discussed on this forums many times, but still I am not clear on it.So, help would be appreciated.

I am creating cache for one map service in our apps.I will start cache from scale of 30,000 and last (maximum) scale would be 500.So, when I add this map service, 500 would be the max scale I can zoom upto.

But, I want my users to view the data at scales greater than 500, like 250,125,62 etc.So, how can I do that? I guess MaximumResolution/MinimumResolution properties on ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer have to be dealt with. But I am not sure how to do this.

Can anybody please explain this. Thanks.

This documentation discuss Map.Scale and Resolution: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Map.html

If the map contains any tiled layers, the map will by default only allow you to zoom out and in to the range of the tiled cache resolution. However this value can be overridden explictly by setting the MinimumResolution and MaximumResolution properties on the map.

Setting Layer.MinimumResolution and MaximumResolution only affects the visibility of that layer.
