And what did you see in the Fiddler requests and responses? Is metadata requested? Are images requested? Fiddler does not show any error, it just not returning the images. You still didn't mention if the request for the image is even there or not. You say there is no error, but no image is returned either. So are you saying that silverlight isn't even asking the server to generate an image? The address of my website is http://134.121.117.16/xwu_sl_app/xwu_sl_app_web/xwu_sl_apptestpage.aspx, you can try visiting. I do see one problem: Silverlight is doing an export map image to the Avista_09 service, and the response says that this image file is available at http://cpd-barbossa/arcgisoutput/_ags_XXXXXXX.jpg I cannot see cpd-barbossa from here. As mentioned in the blogpost I initially referred to, this exact issue was also covered. Is this the service you were having problems with? Keep in mind that this application runs perfectly on the computer where I developed the sl app. A lot of things changes when you suddenly run on a different host. Things like cross domain issues, internal vs. external sites etc all affect this, so that's why Fiddler is so essential to understand what is going on. ... View more

Cool! "I did figure out a way to hit a WMS server directly with a GetFeatureInfo request within SL, and get hold of the response" Another approach than using JavaScript (which might be blocked on some computers) is to use a proxy hosted on the same domain as the .xap file. ... View more

Yes it is a bug that will be resolved in the next release. There is no external bug id for this one. ... View more

"I had to move the code that was calling the Update method to the FeatureLayer Initialized event" In that case there is no need to call update. Update will automatically be called after the layer initialized. ... View more

You can use an Image tag containing an arrow and simply insert that on top of the map. Or you can draw an arrow in Expression Blend using the Path tool. ... View more

Does you query return any results in the first place? Also I don't see any failed handler on the querytask to check for any request issues. ... View more

The problem with point mode against a point layer is the accuracy. When you are using the SelectionOnly mode, the selection is done against the server, and this is simply sending the coordinate you clicked to the server, and looking for any points that intersects that point. The thing is with point/point intersection that you have to hit EXACTLY at where that point is down to the last digit precision (note the intersection is done on the geometry, not the symbol which is a lot larger than an infinitely small point). In other words: Selection does work with point, IF you can click at the right point. However this is a good as impossible to do. Bottomline: Do not use point as selection mode against a point layer. ... View more

The Silverlight control doesn't "rotate" the map at the service level. All it does is applying a rotate transform to the control. Since Silverlight handles all this using it's core transformation system, the coordinates, identify etc automatically gets handled and converted. If you want to do rotate in your pdf, you would have to insert the image rotated into the PDF. Depending on the PDF library you are using this may or may not be possible. ... View more

I'm guessing you need a collection type declared around the sdl:BoorkmarkItem (of whatever type Bookmark.Bookmarks is). Something like (assuming the type is BookmarkItemCollection): <sdl:BookmarkItemCollection> <sdl:BookmarkItem Name="test" Extent="-121.89,33.60,-117.09,36.32" /> </sdl:BookmarkItemCollection> ...

And what did you see in the Fiddler requests and responses? Is metadata requested? Are images requested? And if so do they fail? Is your service returning images if you go to the REST endpoint and try and export the map manually? ... View more

The Client API's supports what is referred to as "Simple Editing", and these types of complex editing scenarios are not considered part of that. For those type of advanced use cases ArcMap/Engine are better fits. ... View more

The number you see down there is NOT the scale. It's showing how big a distance the scalebar box represents. There's no easy way to do what you want, but I don't think what you are trying to do is what you really want to have your user do. Your textbox says "Scale". If the user wants to enter a scale, then have them enter a scale, and not the width of an arbitrary box (btw a box that constantly changes it size so this is not even consistent to the user). Basically when you say "Scale", it means a distance relation between what you see on your map and the real world. For instance 1:25000 means that one inch on the map is 25000 inches in the real world (or 1 feet is 25000 feet, 1 meter is 25km and so on). Note that a scale has no unit in itself. Bottom line: Scalebar and scale are two very different things. ... View more
