Hi all,
We have a problem where when downloaded and installed, the SDK will only show the hello world map/function on 2 of the machines. They are all fresh installs of visual studio and all on the same network with the same permissions. We have tried using a local map source also.
They are all replica machines with the same hardware and are fairly new.
Any ideas would be appreciated
thanks.
Hey,
Can you verify if the SDK installs to those machines? Or is it the application that doesn't work? What version of visual studio you are using?
The SDK seems to install fine, we use visual studio professional 2013. The app will allow the reference to be added, along with the mapview, map, and then the tile for the world map within the hello world tutorial, however on build using the simulator we get a grey screen where the map should be on 2/4 developer machines.
Does layers does initialize without any errors on also on the comps that doesn't show the map? If I understood correctly, this occurs only in windows store emulator? have you tried if Desktop version works?
The layers all seem to function apart from when it comes to actually showing the map, I get a grey screen with the esri watermark in the bottom left. This is the case in both WPF and windows store.
Can you repost the picture, I cannot see anything when opening it.
Can you enable some http-sniffing tool like Fiddler and get the traffic requests for me, please? Does all the computers are using same graphic cards with same drivers?
I think the image was just my email signature attaching itself for some reason or another, and I'm currently installing the SDK on our dev area to log the firewall.
Hi,
We have given up on using the random machines that don’t seem to want to display maps, but now we have another problem!
We created a WPF project using the custom TPK map absolutely fine, however I’m now using a Windows Store App blank project. I tried using the same code behind:
public MainPage()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
//adding layer to map
Layer bkgLayer = new ArcGISLocalTiledLayer(@"Assets\OSBasemapPackage.tpk");
bkgLayer.ID = "MainLayer";
MyMap.Layers.Add(bkgLayer);
}
Which worked fine within WPF, however this time we just get a grey map. Can you see anything wrong with the syntax? We have tried multiple directories however it doesn’t throw any errors on build/pre-build.
Thanks
Remember that file access is different in Windows Store than it's in Desktop.
You can access it using following scheme:
var tileLayer = new ArcGISLocalTiledLayer(@"ms-appx:///Assets/campus.tpk");
Just to make sure, you have handler in MapView.LayerLoaded handler to get information if the layers were loaded correctly?
