Hi Ian, I have heard from a colleague that a new Silverlight Viewer is expected to be released very soon.  Anyone have and idea on the expected released and what type of additional functionality it will include? We're targeting the next release for late Sept/early Oct timeframe (so very soon!) It will include the following as part of its core functionality: - bookmarks tool - measure tool - support for custom locators - print tool (supports the new 10.1 Printingtools GP service) It will be built and compiled on the ArcGIS v3.0 API for Silverlight release. Also, how long does ESRI plan to support the Silverlight Viewer? We're planning on supporting the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight for the foreseeable future. It (along with the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex) is the out-of-the-box, configurable web mapping application builder for ArcGIS for Server moving forward. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Manoj, A1. I'm not aware of any limitation(s) for web editing. And yes, web editing is designed for simple feature editing. A2. Yes. At 10.1, web editing supports editing different versions within an ArcSDE geodatabase. Pre-10.1, you are only able to edit in the version that the map service/feature service was published with. A3. Yes, it is possible to edit a geometric network with web editing. However, please be advised that when you are making an edit with a web client, the edit operation performed is a simple feature edit. The "intelligence" behind the geometric network (e.g., when you perform a feature edit and get the rubber band like effect - attached features also move) does not occur in the web client - this is applied AFTER the edit is pushed back into the geodatabase. Therefore, you need to be really careful when enabling geometric network over the web. A4. This works like any other versioned workflow. You simply treat the version that the map service/feature service was published with, like any other version. After edits are made to the version, you can reconcile and post that to other versions on the server-side.

Hi Scott, The next release of the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight (coming this quarter) will include a print tool that supports the PrintingTools GP service that is available in ArcGIS for Server 10.1. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Royce, Ok, so I updated the existing server's "arcgissystem" folder to be in the shared space along with all the others and now the new ags install can "join site". I hope that was the right call. Yes, I can confirm that your action was correct. I'm glad you resolved your issue. 🙂 ... View more

Hi Royce, This error occurs because the second machine that you're trying to join to your existing GIS site, can't access either the configuration store or the server directories (or both) of the existing GIS site. You need to ensure that both the configuration store and the server directories of the existing GIS site are located on shared network locations that can be accessed and have read/write permissions by the ArcGIS Server account on the second machine.

Hi Chad, Is it possible to configure the editor so that editors can only see their edits? This functionality is available with ArcGIS for Server 10.1 feature services, which includes ownership-based access control. Unfortunately, the current release of the Silverlight Viewer v1.0.1 does not support this capability. Hope this helps, ... View more

Broken Link. I am very interested in the contents. May I see the video or information regarding the topic, please? I am interested in this video as well. Can you please provide working link. Thanks.

Hi Josh, Are you installing Enterprise ArcSDE technology manually? What release of ArcSDE are you installing? Typically the ArcSDE post-install wizard take care of these steps.

Hi Edward, What is the proper way to upgrade to silverlight 3.0 and use the Viewer template... FYI, the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight is built and compiled on the v2.4 release of the ArcGIS API for Silverlight. It currently does not work with the v3.0 Silverlight API release. We are planning an update for the Silverlight Viewer based on the v3.0 Silverlight API in the 3rd quarter of 2012. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Einar and Devon, Apologies for the late reply to this thread, I have been away on business travel in recent weeks. The Silverlight Viewer Dev team investigated your issues: #1 - Toolbars failed to load entirely in Firefox and Chrome when a custom tool is included. It appears that there is an erroneous line of code in the default add-in.  In the LoadConfiguration method of MyTool.cs, line 37 is: [INDENT]configDialog.InputTextBox.Text = configData;[/INDENT] The problem is that, by default, configData is null, and you cannot assign a null value to the Text property of a TextBox.  In IE, the the exception is handled gracefully and the tool loads anyway. But for some reason, it crashes the whole toolbar in Firefox and Chrome. Unfortunately, the browser was swallowing the exception, which made it difficult to track down. The fix is to simply change the line to the following: [INDENT] configDialog.InputTextBox.Text = configData ?? "";[/INDENT] This just sets the text value to an empty string if configData is null. #2 - The Time Slider and Measure add-ins would not load in IE, but other tools loaded without issue. We were not able to reproduce this issue. Please open a ticket with Esri Technical Support so they can look into this further. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Steve, 1. Can we use any version for editing with feature service in ArcGIS Server/Web api or just the default version? A1. Yes, you can use any version you want with ArcGIS Server feature services. 2. If we can use any version other than default version, then should we reconcile and post the edits to the default version after making the edits from ArcGIS Server/Web api. A2. Correct. You would treat the version being edited via the web (with feature services), like any other edit version in your business workflow. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Steve, ... Do I need to reconcile and post or will the edits get saved in the particular version in which I publish service? The latter part of your statement is correct: when you perform web editing with feature services in ArcGIS Server, the edits you make will get saved into the particular version that was being accessed by the map service, when you published it. FYI at 10.1, I believe feature services now support the ability to apply edits into a different version, OTHER than the particular version that was being accessed by the map service, when you published it. This capability is available at the Web Mapping API level - so you would have to enable this with custom code. Hope this helps, ... View more

Hi Ted, So, will that be next week then, or by the end of 3rd quarter. Probably in the latter part of 3rd quarter 2012. Hope this helps, ... View more
