Hi Have you considered exposing the reader and writer classes as public? I've been tinkering with simulating a REST service so I can use FeatureLayer to get features from MXD documents where ArcGIS server is not available. Writing code to read and write json from and to the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client classes used by the featurelayer is quite time consuming. Considering the WPF Api already do the job, it would be nice to be able to use the classes. ... View more

Sorry for the duplicate of previous thread. I can't edit the original post to contain more up to date details (the information seems to drown in the original post for new readers). I use IMapDocument and its ActiveView.Output to export a bitmap from an MXD documen to a bitmap. This works just fine with an MXD with local data. However, when exporting from an MXD with a WMS or ArcGIS Server Map Service layer, the layer is not exported to the hdc. When exporting the WMS or AGS MS layer, a PNG for the requested area is created in the temp folder for my user (with the correct content). The output method fails in other words to draw that layer onto the hdc passed into the Output method. I am able to work around the issue with Mas Server layer by setting the output type to MIME instead of MIME + URL, however, the same thing can't be done with the WMS service as it is not ours. Why is the Output method not rendering the WMS and ArcGIS Map layers to the hdc when it is obviously retrieving the image and should be able to do so? And how can I fix this? Here is the code used for exporting the map (ArcGIS Engine 9.3.1): private void Export(IEnvelope extent) {       _mapDocument= new MapDocument();       //...       _mapDocument.Open("path", null);       // ..       _mapDocument.ActiveView.Extent = extent;       var image = GetImageFromJpegExporter(rect, null);       // ... } private Bitmap GetImageFromJpegExporter(tagRECT rect, CancelTracker trackCancel) {       string filename = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();       try       {             tagRECT exportRECT = _mapDocument.ActiveView.ExportFrame;             //Create a new envelope object and populate it with the values from exportRECT.             // We need to do this because the exporter object requires an envelope object             // instead of a tagRECT structure.             IEnvelope pPixelBoundsEnv = new EnvelopeClass();             pPixelBoundsEnv.PutCoords(exportRECT.left, exportRECT.top, exportRECT.right, exportRECT.bottom);             IExport export = new ExportPNGClass             {                   Resolution = 96,                   ExportFileName = filename,                   PixelBounds = pPixelBoundsEnv             };             int hwnd = export.StartExporting();             _mapDocument.ActiveView.Output(hwnd, 96, ref rect, _mapDocument.ActiveView.Extent, trackCancel);             export.FinishExporting();             export.Cleanup();             Bitmap fromFileBitmap = new Bitmap(filename);             // Copy fromFileBitmap because it keeps a lock on the file             Bitmap returnBitmap = new Bitmap(fromFileBitmap);             fromFileBitmap.Dispose();             return returnBitmap;       }       finally       {             if(File.Exists(filename))             {                   try                   {                         File.Delete(filename);                   }                   catch (Exception)                   {                   }             }       } } Regards, Bjørnar Sundsbø ...

I have an application where I will display dynamic features moving in the map. There might be quite many of them for an area ( <2000, I think). They should move when their position is update. I'm wondering if I should create my own "fake" FeatureService to return the features, or if I should use GraphicsLayer for displaying them. Any reccomendations? Bjørnar Sundsbø ... View more

Hi I would very much like to be able to style a Graphic in XAML, but since alot of the properties are not DependencyProperties (and Graphic is not a FrameworkElement), I am unable to affect these changes, and the style is useless. I want to be able to style it and use templates/triggers to be able to change appearance of the graphic based on changes to the object being displayed as I would any other WPF control. Also support for binding attributes, such as rotation and other details. I suppose IRenderer is the interface to use here, but a renderer able to get symbols and geometries from a Graphic would be more in the WPF style of defining appearance than the "old" renderer approach used in arcobjects. Also binding the geometry to my viewmodel. Any immediate plans for extending the API to support this kind of functionallity? Bjørnar Sundsbø ... View more
