Here is some very high level steps. You will have to host a feature service backend, which allows your users to edit features and save it to geodatabase. At the same, you need to record the username associated to the feature. Next time when he/she signs in, do a query based on the log-in user name and pull out as a JavaScript featureLayer by calling featureLayer.setDefinitionExpression("Where Clause"). Please note, writing a current log-in user name to the new created feature could be accomplished automatically by ArcGIS Server 10.1 when turning on the editor tracking function on geodatabase. ...

Evan, Could you please post a repro sample here? Thanks. ... View more

What language are you setting to? ... View more

Yes. Similar to all JS widgets, measurement widget support 9 different languages. You just need to specify the locale in your config settings. ... View more

JavaScript API supports internationalization with many different languages. All you need to do is to specify the locale in dojo configure when importing scripts, such as: djConfig="parseOnLoad:true, locale: 'fr'" ... View more

From ArcGIS Server 10.1, buffer operation will support geodesic(true/false) parameter. bufferSR input parameter will be ignored when geodesic is set to true, which means you don't have to worry about the spatial reference any more. JavaScript API 2.7 will support this along with server 10.1 beta2 or pre-release. Here is a sample service running on beta2. http://servicesbeta4.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer/buffer Hope this helps. ... View more

Farhad, ArcGIS Server 10.1 will support editing against different GDB versions. Accordingly, JavaScript API will implement it. Hope this helps. ... View more

This might be off topic of this forum. Here are some high level steps. 1. create a http handler with asp.net responding to a URL. take a look at system.web.IhttpHandler interface in the asp.net lib. 2. use esri.request to send the query to the http handler, which returns a response with the results. 3. handle the result on client once the results are back. ...

Steve, It's part of the dynamic layer implementation, which will be included in JavaScript API 2.7 release. ... View more

Yes, you can disable dynamic layers on server side. Derek, just out of curiosity, will the functionality exist to PREVENT this as well.  We have standards for symbols/colors,etc.. I would hate to think someone could just override it. ... View more

Anthony, 2.6 doesn't include that functionality. We are working on it and hoping to have it in the next release. What you described is possible even with current JS API as you can talk to REST API directly. But I would recommend to wait for the release. The reason that arcgis.com works is that the URL that you entered returns a regular layer resource which can be added to the map as a featureLayer. The same scenario should work on your own JS API based application. ... View more

Could you please post your code regarding the observation of "the distance from Wyoming to Nevada is 10,000 miles."? We compared the results between from the geometry service and the client algorithm. They are identical. Meanwhile the client method handles the wraparound case with no problem. ... View more

It depends on your purpose. Normally, I would just put a div there to hold the measurement widget, and the toggle button can show/hide the div. ... View more
