Has this bug been squished in the 10.1 production release? Thanks. ... View more

This can be found on ArcGIS.com here and is also available in the Viewer's code gallery.  This is a production quality, ready-to-use tool with full source code included. The new Measuring Add-in works great. Thanks for putting this out. It will be very beneficial for a lot of people. One thing I noticed is that you have to run a tool before specifying your units of measurement. It would be nice to have that option before measuring. If I decide to use your tool I will change myself but others that do not have the knowledge how to due that may benefit from a future update to the tool to allow this. ... View more

Update: I tied the GetResultDataAsync to the onclick event of a button and specified the jobID of a know job that has results in the server jobs folder. When I click the button nothing happens. I had fiddler running so I could see if a request was being sent. Nothing shows in fiddler. I am not sure why GetResultDataAsync is not firing at all. Geoprocessor geoprocessorTask = sender as Geoprocessor;             geoprocessorTask.GetResultDataCompleted += GeoprocessorTask_GetResultDataCompleted;             geoprocessorTask.Failed += GeoprocessorTask_Failed;             geoprocessorTask.GetResultDataAsync("j0ecca8fcfee3406ba977cb29b53d09dd", "output"); I put in some exception handling in my code to see what is going wrong. I get an "object reference not set to an instance of an object" in this code. foreach (GPParameter gpParameter in e.Results.OutParameters)                 {                     GPFeatureRecordSetLayer gpLayer = gpParameter as GPFeatureRecordSetLayer;                     foreach (Graphic graphic in gpLayer.FeatureSet.Features)                     {                         graphicsLayer.Graphics.Add(graphic);                     }                 } ...

Hi dbroux, I already have MessageBox.Show(e.JobInfo.JobStatus.ToString()); in my code for Geoprocessor_JobCompleted and it shows the esriJobSucceeded message. I have messageboxes in my GeoprocessorTask_GetResultDataCompleted so it will show me when that completes but I never get anything. Here is my output parameter which does not look like an issue to me. Parameter: output Data Type: GPRecordSet Display Name: output Direction: esriGPParameterDirectionOutput Default Value: Parameter Type: esriGPParameterTypeRequired Category: Thanks for your response. ...

Well I am not having much luck. I can't seem to retrieve my results from the GP Task. The GP Task runs fine and I do see the results in the jobs folder on the server. I then attempt to run a GetResultDataAsync to get the GPFeatureRecordSetLayer but it is getting hung up. It seems like my  geoprocessorTask.GetResultDataCompleted  is not firing as the completed or failed events never get triggered. Anyone see anything wrong in my code? This is the first time I try an Asynchronous request so there is verywell some user error involved here. I use the samples as a guide. private void Geoprocessor_JobCompleted(object sender, JobInfoEventArgs e)                 {                        Geoprocessor geoprocessorTask = sender as Geoprocessor;             geoprocessorTask.GetResultDataCompleted += GeoprocessorTask_GetResultDataCompleted;             geoprocessorTask.Failed += GeoprocessorTask_Failed;             geoprocessorTask.GetResultDataAsync(e.JobInfo.JobId, "output");                     }         private void GeoprocessorTask_GetResultDataCompleted(object sender, GPParameterEventArgs e)         {             GraphicsLayer graphicsLayer = MapApplication.Current.Map.Layers["MyResultGraphicsLayer"] as GraphicsLayer;             GPFeatureRecordSetLayer gpLayer = e.Parameter as GPFeatureRecordSetLayer;             MessageBox.Show(gpLayer.FeatureSet.Count().ToString());             foreach (Graphic graphic in gpLayer.FeatureSet.Features)             {                                graphicsLayer.Graphics.Add(graphic);             }             MessageBox.Show(graphicsLayer.Count().ToString());             this.dg.GraphicsLayer = graphicsLayer;             btnPoint.IsEnabled = true;         }         private void GeoprocessorTask_Failed(object sender, TaskFailedEventArgs e)         {             MessageBox.Show("Geoprocessing service failed: " + e.Error);             btnPoint.IsEnabled = true;         }      ...

GraphicsLayer does not need to be part of map if there is no geometry. I did not know this. That should clear everything up. I will give it a try. Thanks!!! ... View more

It does require input and I have already used Fiddler to verify the rquest I am sending is correct. I changed my execution type to asynchronous now so I can see my results on the server. I am now trying to update my web app to use this service. I am stuck on the part you mentioned about the GPFeatureRecordSetLayer. I see examples on how to iterate the recordset to add as graphics. I just can't seem to figure out how to iterate the records to add to a list so I can populate a table since what i am returning are just statistics that will display in a report. GPFeatureRecordSetLayer gpLayer = e.Parameter as GPFeatureRecordSetLayer;             foreach (Graphic graphic in gpLayer.FeatureSet.Features)             {                            } ...

Hi Jennifer- Thanks for the reply. When i run from the rest enpoint to the %SCRATCHWORKSPACE% i get results but they disappear from the jobs folder to check what is in the results table. I changed the output of the service to a dbf temporarily and I see my results fine. I get the messages seen below when running the gp fom rest. The gp service is synchrounous so the execute should be fine. I belive you are right with the GPFeatureRecordSetLayer. How do I go about that?

The first thing you need to learn is how to create/deploy a custom layout. This link, Creating a Custom Layout,  explains that process. You can place my code in different locations depending on where in the map you would like to see the measuring control panel. I used the accordian layout as my starting template. Create a copy of the accordian.xaml and name it whaterver you want. For my example You should find the area around line 571 that startes esri:map. This is where I implement my custom tools. Here is my code expanded a little so you can see where I implemented it. I actually have 2 tools in here. One is the measurinf tools and the other is a tranparency slide that changes the transparency of the selected layer. I changed both items to Visible so they will always show for you. You can take a look at the viewer help and samples for instructions to create a toggle to turn these on and off using an add-in. I'll be glad to answer any questions if I can. <esri:Map x:Name="Map" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" IsLogoVisible="False"  VerticalAlignment="Stretch"                       Grid.ColumnSpan="2"

I have developed a measuring tool by utilizing a custom layout template. I went this route because I liked the functionality of seeing the measurements on individual line segments. I also created a quick add-in that allows the Measuring Panel to be opened and closed but it is not necesary. Yuo can change the visibility of the MeasureBox Data Grid to Visible and it will remian open all the time. I've included a picture of this tool.

2. Find the differences in a python set. This is the fastest by a long way (milliseconds for the whole thing). The catch is that you still have to read the tables once each to make the sets and write out a selected set. But it will still be less than minute or two. This sounds like an ideal chioce for me but as I said my python experience is limited. Do you happen to know of any samples that show how to populate a set from a table in sde? Thanks! ... View more
