Hi, The features you created will be in the package unpack location e.g. C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Local\ArcGISRuntime\Documents\ArcGIS\Packages\packagemap. You can control the unpack location be setting the ArcGISRuntime.AppDataPath property. Alternatively, when packaging you can choose to reference your File Gdb (or enterprise Gdb) from the MPK rather than import the data into the MPK. This workflow only supports absolute paths, not relative paths. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Unfortunately it's not currently possible to edit shapefiles that have been added via dynamic layers. Although it's an implementation detail, the reason is that the FeatureServer endpoint does not support the DynamicLayer capability. We are working on improved local data support which will also include synchronization with feature services but this functionality will be released as part of the new ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET, which includes a WPF API for building desktop applications (i.e. an evolution of the WPF API you're working with now). It will be available in beta shortly. In the mean time, if you really just want to edit shapefiles then you could try one of the various 3rd party shapefile libraries (it's an open, published format). Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi Mike, I am working on similiar application adding shapefile dynamically to map. But I am also trying to query this shapefile to access its geometry and attributes. I am sure it should be possible through - dynamicalayerinfo or dynamiclayerinfocollection. Can suggest me a method to achieve this? Thanks! Hi, Yes this is possible - you still use a QueryTask as you would with other service layer types, but make sure you set the Source property on the QueryTask so that it recognises the changes you have made to the service and uses your new service definition.

Hi, Unfortunately I can't go into greater detail at this time on the improved local data access for 10.2.1 - but you should note that what we do introduce will be in the new .NET SDK mentioned in the previous post rather than in the existing WPF SDK. The new .NET SDK will be out in beta in Q4. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, I think you just need to change the part where you set the TimeExtent of the Map - to bind to the Value of the TimeSlider e.g.: <esri:Map x:Name="MyMap" UseAcceleratedDisplay="True" TimeExtent="{Binding ElementName=MyTimeSlider, Path=Value}" WrapAround="True"> <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="BaseLayer" Url="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Imagery/MapServer" /> <esri:FeatureLayer ID="EarthquakesLayer" Initialized="FeatureLayer_Initialized" Url="http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Earthquakes/Since_1970/MapServer/0" OutFields="*"> </esri:FeatureLayer> </esri:Map> ... <esri:TimeSlider x:Name="MyTimeSlider" Height="20" TimeMode="TimeExtent" MinimumValue="{Binding ElementName=MyMap, Path=Layers[EarthquakesLayer].TimeExtent.Start, Mode=OneWay}" MaximumValue="{Binding ElementName=MyMap, Path=Layers[EarthquakesLayer].TimeExtent.End, Mode=OneWay}" Value="{Binding ElementName=MyMap, Path=Layers[EarthquakesLayer].TimeExtent, Mode=OneWay}" > </esri:TimeSlider> Cheers Mike ...

Hi, You'll also need to handle the UpdateCompleted event to know that the feature layer actually contains data. See this thread for more information: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/43853-How-to-edit-a-table-from-local-map-package. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, - May I distribute my software that uses ArcGIS API for WPF? Yes, you may distribute the ArcGIS API for WPF assemblies along with your software but it must be as part of a compiled application, as an end product. - May I publish my software's sources (to GitHub, for example) and include dll-s from ArcGIS API for WPF (and include your license as txt file)? May I include API setup files? You are welcome to post your source code on GitHub but this must not include the dlls from the ArcGIS API for WPF - in order to access these, other developers must download and install the ArcGIS API for WPF. - May I distribute my software via NuGet and put dll-s from ArcGIS API for WPF inside the package? We currently do not distribute the ArcGIS API for WPF via NuGet and therefore any users of your package would need to install the ArcGIS API for WPF to support their development - i.e currently the same scenario as for GitHub. As I mentioned in your previous post - we are actively investigating ways in which we can make access to our APIs/SDKs more convenient and flexible - including hosting them on NuGet as packages.

Hi, That's a great suggestion, and something that we've been talking a lot about here on the team. There are a couple of reasons why the existing ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF 10.1.1 isn't suitable for distribution via NuGet (e.g. licensing and format/size of the SDK). However we're investigating more flexible ways of distributing the APIs included within the new ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET (Desktop / Store / Phone), with NuGet being one of the options we're looking at. Additionally there are changes afoot to the developer licensing for ArcGIS (see https://developers.arcgis.com/en/plans/ for more details). Cheers Mike ... View more

... in the meantime there are a couple of workarounds: #1. Lock the layer yourself while performing the layer removal: private void RemoveAcceleratedLayer(ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Layer layer) {     ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GroupLayerBase container = Container(layer);     if (container != null)         RemoveAcceleratedLayer(layer, container);     else         MyMap.Layers.Remove(layer); } void RemoveAcceleratedLayer(ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Layer layer, ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GroupLayerBase gl) {     System.Type Tds = layer.GetType().Assembly.GetType("ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.DrawingSurface");     var field = Tds.GetField("NativeLayerProperty", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public);     var dependencyProperty = (DependencyProperty)field.GetValue(null);     var nativelayer = layer.GetValue(dependencyProperty);     var lockprop = nativelayer.GetType().GetProperty("Lock", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance);     var lockobj = lockprop.GetValue(nativelayer, null);     using (lockobj as System.IDisposable)         gl.ChildLayers.Remove(layer); } ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GroupLayerBase Container(ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Layer layer) {     return AllLayers(MyMap.Layers).OfType<ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GroupLayerBase>().FirstOrDefault(gl => gl.ChildLayers.Contains(layer)); } System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Layer> AllLayers(System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Layer> layers) {     return layers.Concat(layers.OfType<ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GroupLayerBase>().SelectMany(glb => AllLayers(glb.ChildLayers))); } #2. Register an unhandled exception handler, check the exception then flag it as handled. Implement the handler and check: private void HandleUnhandledException(object sender, DispatcherUnhandledExceptionEventArgs e) {        if ( e.Exception is TargetInvocationException &&               e.Exception.InnerException is NullReferenceException &&               e.Exception.InnerException.StackTrace.Contains("DrawingSurface"))               e.Handled = true; } Register the handler (e.g. in the window constructor): Application.Current.DispatcherUnhandledException += HandleUnhandledException; Let me know if you have any trouble with these workarounds.
