This is bug in Blend 4 RC. I reported it here: http://connect.microsoft.com/Expression/feedback/details/552430/it-is-not-possible-to-create-a-type-converter-for-ienumerable-int-or-int-that-blend-supports and it was recently marked fixed, so you (hopefully) shouldn't see this when Blend goes final. ...

The requirement is not Blend, but the Blend SDK. The Release Candidate of Blend 4 doesn't give you the option of downloading/installing the SDK by itself. This will change when Blend goes final. This is not really different from the previous releases. ... View more

You might want to look at this sample for inspiration: http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/silverlight/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16273 ... View more

The beta has released. However, legends is not on the roadmap. See the Code Gallery for a sample REST legend service and sample control consuming that service. ... View more

The API is designed to still be able to work with 9.3.1, so you should be good to go. Regarding secured services, using the SL4 plugin will only be better, since you can generate tokens based on referrer, which wasn't supported by Silverlight 3. There's also another mid-way option: You could move to Silverlight 4, but stay building using the 1.2 API. You won't get the new features in 2.0, but most of the new features are only available if you have an ArcGIS Server 10. However you will get the benefits of Silverlight 4.0 like printing, referrer support, better binding etc. ... View more

You can do that with the built-in maptip as well. ... View more

I'm not seeing this. Could you tell us a little about what OS, SL version and browser you are using? ... View more

Go into Blend, right-click the control, select to edit a copy of the template, and you will now have full access to the xaml, including the maptips. ... View more

- Is there a way we can detect this "Map data not yet available" in code? That way maybe I can make the envelope bigger so the low resolution data will be available. No. - Is there a ArcGISonline map server where the "Map data not yet available" is in French? We have French speaking clients in Quebec (Canada) that want everything localized. No. You might want to take a look at the Bing maps layer which has this option (and also likely has higher resolution imagery). - Can I put in my own image to replace the default "Map data not yet available"? No. ... View more

The toolkit maptip control does not support clusters. Is there any reason that you can't use the featurelayer's maptip instead of the toolkit one? ... View more

Anything you do in XAML you can do in code-behind. You could for instance create the control template in xaml (since this is usually easier to do there), and instantiate the symbol in codebehind: new LineSymbol() { ControlTemplate = Resources["offsetLine"] as ControlTemplate, Width=3, Color=new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Red) }; ...

If you are using Mac or Linux are you not using the Java version of ArcGIS server? Remember that Silverlight runs on the client not the server. Silverlight is just talking to a server somewhere out there in the world wide web, but everything is running inside the browser on the client operating system. The Silverlight application is simply downloaded to the client from a webserver, but it doesn't run until everything has been downloaded. This webserver could be running on anything, but that's completely irrelevent to the Silverlight client. From the webservers point of view, all it sees is a browser that requests a .xap file. Note that when you create a new silverlight application in Visual Studio, VS will ask you if you would also like to create a website to host your silverlight application in. By default this is an ASP.NET based website, so yes for that default website you will need some version of .NET, but you could strip out all the ASP.NET stuff and just leave the .HTML, .XAP and .JS files, and you would have a server-agnostic website that could run anywhere on any type of server. So to make a long answer to your original question short: You do not need to worry about what .NET Framework version you are using. The only requirement you will be putting on the users of your application would be a certain minimum version of the Silverlight plugin (the default HTML file +javascript will automatically prompt the user for this if they don't have it, so you don't even have to worry about that). ...

My version does not have any static symbology in there, since it uses binding expressions to the template. So you new up a new instance of the line symbol, set the color/width properties and lastly set the controltemplate to the one above. It's probably more clear like this:   <ControlTemplate x:Key="offsetLine">     <Path x:Name="Element" Stroke="{Binding Symbol.Color}" StrokeThickness="{Binding Symbol.Width}" >       <Path.RenderTransform>         <TranslateTransform X="5" Y="-5" />       </Path.RenderTransform>     </Path>   </ControlTemplate> <esri:LineSymbol x:Key="TranslatedLineSymbol1" ControlTemplate="{StaticResource offsetLine}" Width="3" Color="Red" /> <esri:LineSymbol x:Key="TranslatedLineSymbol2" ControlTemplate="{StaticResource offsetLine}" Width="2" Color="Blue" /> ...

For that you should use the service using QueryTask. If not, you have to build your own intersection algorithm. ... View more

most of Silverlight's .dlls will run on anything on 2.0 or above Let me repeat: Silverlight does NOT require .NET to run. Not even version 2.0. Remember that Silverlight also runs on Mac and Linux, and there is no .NET version for these platforms. Also: Your webserver does NOT require .NET to host Silverlight applications. ANY webserver running on ANY platform can do this. ... View more
