Export Map

[TalShapiro]

Hello,

Is there a way to export a Map extent to a file (by size/resolution etc)?

Many thanks,
Tal

Hi,
There is no out-of-the-box functionality but you can create such file by yourself. You get all the needed information from the Map control and then write the needed information to the file.

Hi,
I'd like to export the map extent to a png file in a certain size/resolution.
This could be achieved by using RenderTargetBitmap on the rendered map control, however this will require displaying the Map control in a temporary window with the desired size (which is not an option for me...).

Any ideas?

So you want to save some extent content from the one/many services without using a visible map control?

Have you checked PrintTask? If it doesn't work in your case, I think more information about the scenario and the structure of the content that you want to export would help.

I'm looking for something similar to the Export Map operation is the REST API for a Map.
I'm developing an application which allows constructing a map from various types of layer of various sources ((Local)DynaimcMapServiceLayers, various TiledMapServiceLayers, GraphicsLayer, ElementLayers...).
I'd like to export the whole map to a png.
