I'd like to use ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Printing, but can't find any documentation showing how to get started.  Is there any available? Thanks! ... View more

With SDK version 2.2, I have a View with a tabcontrol where its itemssource is bound to an ObserveableCollection of GraphicsLayers on a ViewModel.  <TabControl ItemsSource="{Binding Layers}" Grid.Row="3" Grid.ColumnSpan="3">     <TabControl.ItemTemplate>         <DataTemplate>             <TabItem >                 <TabItem.Header>                     <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">                         <TextBlock Text="{Binding ID}"></TextBlock>                         <Button Content="x" Margin="3" Command="{Binding ElementName=LayoutRoot,Path=DataContext.Delete}" CommandParameter="{Binding}"></Button>                     </StackPanel>                 </TabItem.Header>             </TabItem>         </DataTemplate>     </TabControl.ItemTemplate>     <TabControl.ContentTemplate>         <DataTemplate>             <Grid>                 <toolkit:FeatureDataGrid Map="{Binding ElementName=LayoutRoot, Path=DataContext.Map}" GraphicsLayer="{Binding}"></toolkit:FeatureDataGrid>             </Grid>         </DataTemplate>     </TabControl.ContentTemplate> </TabControl> Here's the ViewModel: public ObservableCollection<GraphicsLayer> Layers {     get { return m_Layers; }     set     {         m_Layers = value;         RaisePropertyChange("Layers");     } } The first time I add a graphicslayer to the viewmodel, it works fine.  But I do see these errors: System.Windows.Data Error: 1 : Cannot create default converter to perform 'one-way' conversions between types 'System.Windows.Controls.DataGridHeadersVisibility' and 'System.Windows.Visibility'. Consider using Converter property of Binding. BindingExpression:Path=HeadersVisibility; DataItem='FeatureDataGrid' (Name=''); target element is 'Button' (Name=''); target property is 'Visibility' (type 'Visibility') System.Windows.Data Error: 5 : Value produced by BindingExpression is not valid for target property.; Value='Column' BindingExpression:Path=HeadersVisibility; DataItem='FeatureDataGrid' (Name=''); target element is 'Button' (Name=''); target property is 'Visibility' (type 'Visibility') System.Windows.Data Error: 1 : Cannot create default converter to perform 'one-way' conversions between types 'System.Windows.Controls.DataGridHeadersVisibility' and 'System.Windows.Visibility'. Consider using Converter property of Binding. BindingExpression:Path=HeadersVisibility; DataItem='FeatureDataGrid' (Name=''); target element is 'DataGridColumnHeadersPresenter' (Name='PART_ColumnHeadersPresenter'); target property is 'Visibility' (type 'Visibility') System.Windows.Data Error: 5 : Value produced by BindingExpression is not valid for target property.; Value='Column' BindingExpression:Path=HeadersVisibility; DataItem='FeatureDataGrid' (Name=''); target element is 'DataGridColumnHeadersPresenter' (Name='PART_ColumnHeadersPresenter'); target property is 'Visibility' (type 'Visibility') After I clear the collection then add a layer to the collection, I get a tab item, but no FeatureDataGrid.  When I have multiple tabs showing (with featuredatagrids) and switch between them I get a unhandled exception crash. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks! ... View more

A lot of users are having difficulty making the jump from VBA to .NET. Instead of requiring them to download Visual Studio and use add-ins, Esri should provide an option that is more similar to the good old VBA customization experience, leveraging codedom compiler. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.codedom.compiler.aspx For the IDE, perhaps one similar to SharpDevelop, within desktop apps. http://sharpdevelop.net/opensource/sd/ As with VBA, the code modules would travel with the document.  Unlike VBA, the same Arcmap singleton used in Add-ins would be provided.  This would make it easy to migrate .NET code from the document to the add-in at a later time.  I don't think storing code in mxt files is needed - make people use add-ins if they want to share customizations. Basically, it would be an add-in that is stored within the document, is edited with something like sharpdevelop, and compiled with CodeDom. Administrators should be able to configure a machine to either allow,alert, or deny running add-ins that are stored in documents. ... View more

I'd like to provide the user the ability to click on a feature and see a popup and then highlight and ctrl-c to copy highlighted text onto the clipboard.  Is there some way to configure the Infowindow to support this? If not is there some similar tool that supports this?  I'd prefer not to use the FeatureDataForm. Thanks! ... View more

Hi - Is there a sample showing how to use KmlExtendedData somewhere? Thanks! Kirk ... View more

All the kml files I've ever seen store coordinates in WGS84 coordinates. All kml viewers I've ever seen project the coordinates to Web mercator at display time. It seems to me that by default - or at least as an option - the KmlLayer should convert from WGS84 to web mercator behind the scenes. Or maybe it does, and I'm just missing something? Is this code really necessary? void layer_Initialized(object sender, EventArgs e) {     var layer = sender as ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Toolkit.DataSources.KmlLayer;     foreach (Graphic g in layer.Graphics)     {         var pnt = g.Geometry as MapPoint;         g.Geometry = ToWebMercator(pnt.X, pnt.Y);     } } public static MapPoint ToWebMercator(double lon, double lat) {     // adapted from Oren Gal's post:     // http://www.gal-systems.com/2011/07/convert-coordinates-between-web.html     MapPoint pnt = new MapPoint() { SpatialReference = new SpatialReference(3857) };     if ((Math.Abs(lon) > 180 || Math.Abs(lat) > 90))         return pnt;     double num = lon * 0.017453292519943295;     double x = 6378137.0 * num;     double a = lat * 0.017453292519943295;     pnt.X = x;     pnt.Y = 3189068.5 * Math.Log((1.0 + Math.Sin(a)) / (1.0 - Math.Sin(a)));     return pnt; } ...

I've been asked to add a layer to a silverlight map depicting information in a Google Fusion Table, specifically this one: http://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?snapid=S232942v7U3 Does anyone know an easy way to do this? Are there any plans to provide a new layer type in future versions of the Silverlight API that would let me just config a layer using the url like I would any other mapservice layer? Thanks, Kirk ...

Will ArcGIS runtime SDK for WPF be replacing ArcGIS API for WPF? Thanks, Kirk ... View more

I'm writing a query tool that allows the user to perform sql queries.  I'd like to present a message like this: Maximum record count reached, showing only the first 1000 records Is there some method to determine the max record count has been used to configure a particular map service?
