Bad geometries appear in ArcSDE!  I found a doozy where an annotation polygon was in three parts with one ring reversed.  At least, you should convert the SDE checkfeatures command into a geoprocessing tool. ... View more

The problem is using FlashGeometry with an Envelope on a graphics layer with a label class:       public MainWindow()       {          InitializeComponent();          var layer = MyMapView.Map.Layers["MyLayer"] as GraphicsLayer;          TextSymbol txtSym = new TextSymbol();          AttributeLabelClass lc = new AttributeLabelClass();          lc.Symbol = new TextSymbol();          lc.TextExpression = "[SomeFieldName]";          layer.Labeling.LabelClasses.Add(lc);          layer.Labeling.IsEnabled = true;       }       private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)       {          var geometry = await MyMapView.Editor.RequestShapeAsync(DrawShape.Rectangle);          //geometry = geometry.Extent; // Uncomment this line to make app crash          clsGraphicHelper.FlashGeometry(MyMapView, geometry, geometry.Extent.GetCenter());       } ...

Thanks for your reply.  While the geographic results are not exactly the same as those using ArcObjects, I projected them further to UTM and found that they're only a centimeter apart, which is good enough for my app. ... View more

Installing VS 2012 update 4 enabled project templates for VS 2010 but not VS 2012.  Is it because VS 2012 is the Express for Web edition? ... View more

I was afraid that 10.2 was blocking database-specific SQL.  Drat.  Now I have to decide whether to change my code or change the Server settings. ... View more

I'm having problems left and right with 10.2.  "Where" statements that worked fine in 10.1 are failing in 10.2.  Statements such as these: TRIM(FIELDNAME) = 'VALUE' OBJECTID IN (SELECT ....) This is a step backwards and I am not happy about it.  This will definitely hold back rolling it into production. ... View more

Even at 10.2, Python toolboxes apparently only accept feature sets (GPFeatureRecordSetLayer) as an input parameter; I can't get the data type to work as an output parameter.  I still have to attach a script to a TBX file if I want to create a geoprocessing service or package that outputs a feature set that I build using arcpy.FeatureSet().  Perhaps I should add this issue to the ideas site? ...
