Yes that should do the trick. ... View more

You say you "cant seem to make it work", but what is not working? Don't you get any data? Do you get an error? Do you see the tiled map but not the featurelayer? etc... I'm a really poor guesser when it comes to errors 🙂 I suggest you take a look at what goes on (or goes wrong) under the covers using Fiddler. I discuss this in this blogpost: http://blogs.esri.com/Dev/blogs/silverlightwpf/archive/2009/08/24/Troubleshooting-blank-layers.aspx Rob: Spatial Reference issues only applies to Tiled layers. Featurelayers automatically reproject themselves to the base map, so this should be a non-issue. ... View more

For what it's worth (and for people who use Silverlight 4), you can simply use SL4's StringFormat property to create the Url. Example: Search google for the attribute value in 'name': NavigateUri="{Binding [name], StringFormat=http://www.google.com/search?q\=\{0\}}" ... View more

And ArcEngine wont do the job for you? I'm asking for more specific use-cases. Ie what type of application are you building. What type of data are you pulling in (tiled, dynamic, featurelayer etc... and what kind of data is in them?). Do you require editing while offline, or will it do with disabling editing? Could you live without some data while offline? Do you require just a subset of image tiles? etc etc etc. This is a huge project, so we'd like to get the 80% use-cases solved first. So in other words, if you had to choose, what feature would then be most important, which are "only" nice to haves, what could you live without etc. ... View more

That being said, I can't explain why it's not working other way.... ...because you are binding from a non-UIElement. ... View more

Probably not easy to chain 2 converters. You could bind the first "outer" value to the DataContext property of the hyperlinkbutton to get around that limitation. The property you will be binding to in the NavigateUri will then instead be that property and not the Attributes. ... View more

You should use FeatureLayer to do this. This is simlar to the other Client API's ... View more

I can add multiple addresses to the map by creating a Locator task for each address. That works fine, but I'm not comfortable with doing this :(. I'm afraid it has performance issue. Have you tried it? Personally I would think it would be a better user-experience seeing the points pop up one by one, than have to wait much longer while nothing happens until everything suddenly pops up. As an alternative, you could create a WCF service, send the addresses to the service, use the WPF bits on the server end to do all the geocoding, and then return the points in a big bunch. Then to the Silverlight client it would seem as a batch process. ... View more

What do you mean by this? I was referring to the custom rest endpoint in the sample. It's doing caching for the 10 mins, but you could just pull that code out of the sample. ... View more

As it is right now (v2.0), all the API's rely on REST services, and if these are not available, the data will not be available. As an alternative you could have a local ArcGIS Server REST service running, or use custom built layer types that can read from local data when using WPF. Offline use-cases is definitely on our radar as a potential feature in a future release. If you can share your use-case, it will help us a great deal with envisioning future features. ... View more

Works fine for me: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/index.html 1. Log in 2. Click "download version 2.0" in the box to the right 3. Click the download link on the new page. ... View more

Are you rotating the map on the client or in the service? WebADF and WPF are two very different beasts, and uses two very different ways of talking to the map services, so the way you do it in one API could be very different from another. ... View more

The locator REST service only supports one address at a time. ... View more

No sorry. The problem with zindex is that it only works among elements within the same level in the UI tree. Setting it inside the control template means it's in a different level in the tree. ... View more
