Hi Tom, With a Silverlight Viewer application, is there a way to send someone a link to an application so that when they click on the link, it takes them to a particular point or location or map extent (similar to bookmarks)?

Hi Gwen, If I understand it, if I use Flex 3.2 for my project, soon, I won't have any support for Arcgis API Flex? Correct. It would be best for you to migrate to a later release. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Gwen, ... What is the policy of ArcGIS about their API Flex? In terms of licensing, please review the Esri License Agreement documentation for specific details. If you are asking about the future direction/roadmap of the Flex API, please read this blog post, Some thoughts on the direction of the ArcGIS web mapping APIs (JavaScript, Flex, and Silverlight) ... I use Flex 3.2. So I have to take ArcGIS API 1.3. Are there still support or evolution about this version of API? Currently, the ArcGIS API for Flex v1.3 release is in "mature support", which means: - Esri will provide no further patches and hot fixes for products (including Service Packs) that have reached the Mature phase. - New environments will not be certified for the Mature phase. When the ArcGIS API for Flex v3.0 is released (very soon, we are currently in PreRelease), the v1.3 release will no longer be supported. FYI, for details please see the ArcGIS Web Mapping Product Life Cycle documentation. I strongly recommend you work with the latest ArcGIS API for Flex release. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi there, I am new to Flex API ... What licensing limitations are there? FYI, please review the Esri License Agreement documentation for specific details. ...

However, you please ensure that you have the appropriate licensing permissions. I suggest you contact your local Esri office/Distributor. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi David, I have the exact same issue. The map services I have running display fine locally - the services page displays when the URL is loaded in a browser, they also uploaded to arcgis.com and are accessable there, as well as in argis explorer online. So - the services are running fine and accessible from the outside, but in the silverlight viewer I get nothing, no connection, no layers. I've tried cutting and pasting the URL from the services directory and other various path names, but nothing has worked. Can you please try to view the HTTP request and response using a standard tool for interrogating HTTP communication such as Fiddler, Silverlight Spy, FireBug (FireFox add-on) in your web browser? What kind of messaging is reported? Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Berhanu, 1- Application developed using ArcGIS Server are accessible on internet Please see the link GIS Ethiopia  http://www.wve.org.et/ I accessed the link you referenced and it opens a Web ADF application - but I don't see a table of contents for any data layers and when I click on the map display, I get a "no features found" message. I think there is only a basemap displayed and I don't think this site is working properly, can you please double-check? Have you tried to view the HTTP request and response using a standard tool for interrogating HTTP communication such as Fiddler, Silverlight Spy, FireBug (FireFox add-on) in your web browser? What kind of messaging is reported? Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Bret, ... I have obtained a Bing Maps key. ... I am having trouble finding specifics on how to implement it. Please see this ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight help topic: Application Builder settings (look for the Bing AppID setting) Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Bret, What if we don't have an implementation of ArcGIS Server yet?  Is there still a way to use the Bing Maps, or is it now only available to licensed ArcGIS users? If you don't have an ArcGIS Server license, you will have to contact Microsoft directly to obtain a Bing Maps key. FYI, please review this blog post for additional background info: Changes to Bing Maps token key Or, I suppose you could switch your application to use a different basemap service, like World Imagery service. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Donald, I just tested and was able to successfully add and use the Light Gray Canvas (LGC) base map in the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex application builder. Note that when you add it under the Maps tab, it will appear as 2 items in the "selected basemaps" list (see figure 1), one for the features and one for the labels. And I can see the LGC basemap fine when I preview the app under the Preview tab. Perhaps you accidentally deleted one of the LGC tiled service items in the "selected basemaps" list? Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Bret, As of March 31, 2012, the Bing Maps Token Service has been retired by Microsoft. Users who want to use Bing maps will need to get their own Bing Maps key. From the ArcGIS Server help documentation: "The Bing Maps key information is retrieved from your ArcGIS Server authorization file. If you receive a message that your key is not found or corrupt, please contact ESRI Customer Service to ensure that your authorization file is valid and includes access to Bing Maps."
