Hi,

I am using .ArcGIS Runtime for .Net v100.2 in a WPF app and I would like to have a function to print the map. I can't found any code samples in the documentation or in the guide. How to do this ? Could you provide exemple or link to demonstrate this ?

Thanks!

Hi,

I confirm the analyze of Waldemar. In the runtime 100.3 code like this : 

                PrintDialog printDialog = new PrintDialog();
                if (printDialog.ShowDialog() == true)
                {
                    printDialog.PrintVisual(mapView, "Carte Poseis");
                }

don't work (print an empty image) but it was okay in the previous version!

It will be great to have a Print function on the map to avoid this kind of regression.

Regards

jcb

This is most likely due to a performance improvement in the rendering pipeline where the map is rendered on a separate UI Thread, and your print function isn't able to "see" that.

Instead use the mapView.ExportImageAsync() to get a bitmap of the map to print.

Is there another method to print high resolution bitmap in 100.3

At this time no. The map only renders at the resolution of your device. High-quality printing is in our backlog, and mostly a Pro/ArcMap thing at the moment.

I have the same issue where an empty bitmap is generated with only text "Powered by ESRI" in the right-bottom corner. Where you ever able to resolve this ?
