Don't call RegisterPrefix everytime you call the GP service. Only do it once (ie. at app startup or the first time you use the GP tool). ... View more

This smells like a bug in IE that ArcGIS Server exposes. Try it in FireFox and see if that works. If that's the case, try running this line of code when your app first starts up, and see if that doesn't fix it: WebRequest.RegisterPrefix("http://www.myserver.com/arcgis/rest",  WebRequestCreator.ClientHttp); This basically forces Silverlight to perform the request for that domain instead of letting the browser do the work for it. Silverlight handles the response from ArcGIS server correctly. ... View more

You should consider the two frameworks two VERY different frameworks. They are not designed to work together. If your AE toolbar was designed to work with an AE map control, there is no way to get it to work with the WPF Map control. In general any AE you do, you will need to "convert" between the two frameworkks, like for instance geometry types etc. I know some people have taken advantage of the much larger AE framework to for instance do complex spatial operations, or create custom dynamic layers that uses AE for doing ExportMap operations against an MXD, etc. ...

Yes you can do this. Simply use the ExtentChanged/ExtentChanging events to update the extent on the slave map (a very similar approach is used in the magnifiers and overviewmap, which really are just wrapped map controls with a little extra logic around it) ... View more

ArcObjects is not supported by Silverlight. If you need to execute some ArcObjects code, you will need to create a custom webservice on the server and call that.

Running silverlight apps is fully supported on MacOS. However to build them Visual Studio 2010 and/or Expression Blend is required. These tools only run on Windows. So in other words: Build on Windows, but run on both. As a developer you need Windows, but your users can just Mac. ... View more

We are aware of one issue that causes wpf to perform worse in some configurations when tiles needs to load, although I've never seen it as slow as you say it is (seems more choppy than "stuck"). We will have that fixed for final release. ... View more

There is nothing out of the box for ArcIMS, nor are there any plans to provide this. Having said that it's not impossible to create your own custom dynamic layer that pulls from ArcIMS (I know of people who have done this). However it does require a bit or work (as a starting point you might want to look at the WMSLayer code in the Toolkit : http://esrisilverlight.codeplex.com). From the API perspective all you need to do is set the default spatial reference, full extent and implement the GetUrl(...) method. If you know how to communicate with ArcIMS that might not be too much work. ... View more

A much more efficient way would be to use the visual states instead of replacing the symbol as suggested. It will perform better and not "flicker". ... View more

Set a hide delay on the maptip, so the user gets a change to move the mouse to the maptip before it closes. This example assumes the graphic you are hovering on has a "Link" attribute. <esri:GraphicsLayer>    <esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTip>       <Border Background="White" esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTipHideDelay="0:0:0.5">          <StackPanel Margin="10">             <TextBlock Text="More info:" />             <HyperlinkButton NavigateUri="{Binding [Link]}" TargetName="_blank" />          </StackPanel>       </Border>    </esri:GraphicsLayer.MapTip> </esri:GraphicsLayer> ...

A simpler approach is probably just to use the ElementLayer: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#ElementLayer Notice the red box (put whatever you like there instead of the red box) ... View more

1) Use the ImageServiceIdentifyTask to get pixel values. 2) That legend was never tested with / built for ImageService (you could probably enhance it to do that). It's not 10.1 but 10SP1 that will add legend support. However as far as I know, ImageServices are not supported. ... View more
