If you go to the rest endpoint and execute the same query from the HTML page, do you get geometry back? ... View more

The staging servers has been deprecated by Microsoft, including their token service. The good news is that it has gotten a lot simpler now. Instead, go to www.bingmapsportal.com sign up, log in and generate a token/app id. This token doesn't expire. Now all you need to do is set the token property on the layer: <bing:TileLayer Token="[your token goes here]" /> You do not need to do anything on the server to generate a token. Also note that staging server is not supported with these new tokens ... View more

If you are using the FeatureLayer with the v2.0 assemblies, you will find this information on myLayer.LayerInfo.Fields ... View more

While the units in webmercator are indeed units, you must remember that projections add huge distortions to them. In other words, around Equator the scale distortion is about 1 (meaning correct scale), but as you get closer to the poles, the distortion moves towards infinity! ... View more

The print sample is basically doing this: http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/silverlight/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16697 ... View more

Auto-updating of bindings to attributes will only work with the v2.0 build. v1.x does not support change detection to attributes. ... View more

You don't need to use the Editor. The nice thing is that is that if you edit a graphic's attribute, the changes is automatically detected and persisted to the server. So all you need to do is create a set of textboxes as you want them, and when you click OK, you set the attributes of the graphic to whatever the user entered, and they are immediately persisted back to the server (if you have AutoSave set to false you will have to manually submit all changes on the featurelayer). ...

The extension method 'ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Bing.Transform.GeographicToWebMercator(this ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.MapPoint)' should be helpful. You probably don't want to calculate distance and area in WebMercator. The distortions are way too large to be of any use. Instead I suggest you look at some of the basic formulas for working with spheric coordinates. I usually use this resource for that: http://williams.best.vwh.net/avform.htm Just as a side note: Decimal degrees is a measure of angle. Square Kilometers is measure of area. Those are two very different things, and doesn't "convert". I'm guessing you mean you have a polygon described by points in decimal degrees, and you would like to know the area of the polygon, right? ... View more

This is all meant to work client side. There's nothing going on in ArcGIS Server to do this. ... View more

As with the previous releases, we will release the source code of the toolkit on http://esrisilverlight.codeplex.com when v2.0 has RTM'ed. Having said that, all the editor widget really is, is a set of buttons that executes the commands exposed in ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Editor. One of the sdk samples at http://esriurl.com/slsdk2 shows how to create your own editor widget using these commands. ... View more

You can apply different symbology using for a different renderer for each user, ie UniqueValueRenderer, ClassBreaksRenderer or a custom class that implements IRenderer. Why use an SOE for printing? You could use the printing sample and return a PDF instead of an image: http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/silverlight/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16697 That way you are guaranteed to get the symbology you used on the client. ...

There are several options, depending on the use cases, so first let me ask: What are the average radius of the buffers you need to make? What accuracy do you need for these buffers? Will it only be buffers around points, or also polylines and polygons? ... View more

This was a known issue in v1.1 but has since been resolved. Are you using v1.2 or v2.0beta ? ... View more

The sample is made for that specific area where the projection/spatial reference used works well. You should pick a spatial reference that works best for the area you are interested in. This is due to the large distortion that projections can cause when used far from the area where the distortions is at a minimum. ... View more
