Greetings,

I am trying to get the user's current map extent but everything I've tried so far has been along the lines of a catastrophic failure (I'm new to C#/Silverlight/XAML) :(.

I'm aware that [url=http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-viewer/samples/start.html]this[/url] exists but I've never tried implementing a sample before and am quite stuck.

Anyway, long story short, I'm trying to figure out how to get the map extents of the user's current zoom level and I've been stuck for a few days. Any help? :(. I'm not sure what steps to take in implementing a code sample (and have them be successful).

Thanks in advance,
Jenn

edit: We're not technically using the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight product, but since the code is widget-based I thought this would be an applicable example. Please let me know if I'm headed in the wrong direction
