A viewport is always planar (unless your screen is actually shaped like a sphere :-). Why do you require the use of geographic? MapIt will automatically re-project on the fly for you to any spatial reference you desire. ... View more

MagnifyingGlass only works with one tiled layer service. The magnifier is not "really" a magnifier. It's just another map that pans and zooms based on its relative location to the parent map. Because of it's behavior that causes very frequent map rerendering, anything but tiled layers would not perform adequate. Also take a look at the Magnifier class. It uses a different approach that allows you to specify other (and multiple) layertypes. ... View more

Go into blend, select the map control, right click it and select to edit a copy of it's template. Note that inside the template there's  rectangle called "ZoomBox". You can change its appearance however you like. ... View more

Silverlight runs on the client, and therefore you don't need the .NET Framework at all. All you require on the client is the Silverlight 4 runtime. However, if you generate an ASP.NET based website to host your silverlight application, the server will require whatever version that website is running on. Not that you don't need ASP.NET to host this website. All you need to be able to serve out is HTML, JavaScript and the .xap file. ... View more

Yes. You will need to publish your GDB/MXD to ArcGIS Server. ... View more

Hi I have tried using the MAPIT data service and plug onto a Feature Layer - with no success. I'm curious what problems you were having with this? It's a fairly simple install process to get your MapID SDS REST endpoint running, but there are a few gotchas. MapIt is ESRI's official supported way of serving up raw SQL Server Geometry/Geography to the client APIs (besides ArcGIS Server of course). ... View more

ArcGIS 10 Geometry service is your answer, unless you want to try and write your own union code 🙂 If you know the parcels doesn't overlap, you can simply just lump the rings collections together: foreach(PointCollection points in polygon2.Rings)      polygon1.Rings.Add(points); ... View more

One of the bugs I've seen in VS2010RC is that when you add a new project, its build action is sometimes not set. Go to "Build - Configuration Manager" and make sure there is a checkmark in the "build" column for your project in all the configurations. ... View more

v10 does not come with any assemblies for Silverlight/WPF, not to mention the SL/WPF assemblies for the prerelease hasn't been released yet. Did you mean to post this in the WebADF forum? ... View more

My guess is the .xap file is not in the website folder that the object tag in the html test page is referring to, or the webserver is not returning the correct mime type for .xap files. ... View more

Did you set the LayerIds property on the identify parameters to match the visible layers of the map? ... View more

Correct. Use the point you get from the locator to do a spatial selection against the county layer. ... View more

No. ArcGISDynamic and ArcGISTiled services, you cannot change labelling on the fly. Labelling support is on our roadmap for FeatureLayer the final release of v2.0. Until then, you could use a graphics layer with points that uses a text symbol which binds to an attribute. However if your data is not points, it's currently on you to find the label placement within the polygon or polyline. ... View more

Yes you will need to use a GeometryService to project the envelope. You could write the projection logic yourself on the client, which for Mercator is pretty simple. It's even simpler if your data is in WGS84 geographic coordinates (epsg:4326). In that case you can just use the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Bing.Transform classes. ... View more

Correct. But neither of those two projections are very suitable for displaying data at the poles because of the large distortion they have in those areas. ... View more
