Hi Tom, Yes, supporting the ArcGIS API for Silverlight�??s identity manager in the Silverlight Viewer as part of its core functionality is a high priority for the next (i.e., post v3.0) release. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Ezequias, ... the template created a version pointing to many 3.0 libraries but the application simply does not open. I have the Silverlight 5.0 installed and the application just appears blank. I tried to change my add-in and layout projects to use Silverlight 5 as a target and the application does not compile. If you are using version 1.0.1 of the Silverlight Viewer and version 2.4 of the Viewer extensibility API, you need to use Silverlight 4 and ArcGIS API for Silverlight v2.4 . You can get the Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010 here and Silverlight API v2.4 here. It will not be possible to use Silverlight 5 and ArcGIS API for Silverlight v3.0 to develop add-ins until the next version of the Viewer is released. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Jose, Will the new release install the templates in Visual Studio 2012? No. The ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight v3.0 extensibility template is for Visual Studio 2010. We are planning on supporting Visual Studio 2012 in the next Silverlight Viewer release (targeting later this year/early next year). Hi Ezequias, Is there any problem to use extensibility (2.4) with Client 3.0? No, this is not supported. You will need to upgrade to the ArcGIS v3.0 API for Silverlight. Could you tell me if there is a 3.0 Visual Studio 2010 Viewer template also? Yes, please see my response to Jose above. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Zachary, ... I'm talking about exposing a secured service where the client is requested to provide credentials...similar to how the Flex viewer works ... Why can't the silverlight viewer just prompt for credentials against secured map services using the identity manager like Flex does? We haven't implemented the ArcGIS API for Silverlight�??s identity manager into the Viewer yet. This is on the product roadmap, but is not part of the next release. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Garrett, ... This process brought up one key question. When reopening the sidebar after closing, the sidebar is much too small. Have been trying to figure out how to have it auto resize the same way it does on loading the page. The only solutions I have found are: In <sdk:TabControl x:Name="SidePanelContainer"..... A) Grid.ColumnSpan="2"  ---turns out to be much too big B) <Grid>         <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>              <ColumnDefiinition Width="*"/>  --have also tried "Auto" and "100"         </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>      </Grid>   ---just doesn't work and creates blank page Some help here would be much appreciated!!! Unfortunately, I am not a developer, so I can't assist with your issue. I did get some advice from a developer: "There are many interdependent elements in the layout �?? grid columns, animations, converters, etc. The user needs to find everything that�??s interacting with the SidePanelContainer and trace the sequence of events until they understand exactly what�??s going on. I would suggest that the user start with the Viewer�??s Visual Studio template for layout customization, editing the Glass layout in the Layouts project. That provides a much better editing/debugging environment. Note that the current Map Web Part layout is based on Viewer�??s Glass layout." Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Manoj, Can we say that its not wise to expect conflict management from web editing as this will be pushing technologies beyond its limit. Or does that supported? When performing edits in a versioned ArcSDE geodatabase, conflict detection and resolution occur when you are performing a reconcile operation. Reconcile and post operations in an ArcSDE geodatabase are version management workflows and not part of web editing workflows. Therefore, we don't support conflict management in web editing - and this is by design. FYI, A quick tour of reconciling a version Typically you would perform your edits via a web client, then later on, you could manage your versions on the server-side. For example, take the version that was being edited with the web client, and reconcile and post it to another version in its lineage. When you perform the reconcile is when you would detect possible conflicts. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Manoj, How is ESRI sde/ArcGIS Server support with Oracle Spatial db or do we need to go with SDE binary format? Any info on this. ... We are exploring the use of oracle spatial with SDE/ArcMap. Do we have versioning support with Oracle Spatial. You can implement an enterprise ArcSDE geodatabase on Oracle using the oracle spatial storage type instead of using the ArcSDE binary format. This is fully supported, including support for versioning. FYI, How do geodatabases use Oracle Spatial? Hope this helps, ... View more
