Find/Search for local layer

[TychoGranville]

This question seems to get asked a lot, but I might have missed an answer somewhere???.

Has anyone come up with a tool/widget/whatever to Find/Search an *operational* layer in Silverlight? It needs to be simple as the web map (a county base map with roads, parcels, etc) is for public use. I???m not a programmer, and the site is pretty much crippled without it. I have looked around the Forums and the Web, but haven???t found anything ??? hopefully I???m missing something simple.
Thanks,

Tycho

Hi Tycho,

Since you are not a developer, taking an existing sample and building an add-in is not a valid option for you. My suggestion is to try using the Search add-in bundled with the custom locator service based on a General???Single Field geocode locator. It seems to work only with points and polygons, so I am not sure how you would cope with the roads (perhaps converting to a centroid?).

Consider going through this tutorial if you are new to geocoding.

Good luck!
