Hi, The path is relative to executing application which by default might be in <project_name>\bin\debug. Therefore you'll need to take this into account, and ideally set the output folder for your application in the project settings to mimic your intended deployment structure. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, It sounds like you might be missing the XAML namespace? - make sure your XAML contains an esri namespace reference e.g. <Window x:Class="ArcGISWPFSDK.Map"     xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"     xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"     xmlns:esri="http://schemas.esri.com/arcgis/client/2009">     <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" >         <Grid.Resources>             <BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="BooleanToVisibilityConverter"/>         </Grid.Resources>         <esri:Map x:Name="MyMap" UseAcceleratedDisplay="True" WrapAround="True" Background="#FFE3E3E3">             <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="MyLayer"                 Url="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer" />         </esri:Map>         <ProgressBar x:Name="MyProgressBar" IsIndeterminate="True" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="200" Height="20" Margin="10" Visibility="{Binding Path=IsBusy, Converter={StaticResource BooleanToVisibilityConverter}}"></ProgressBar>     </Grid> </Window> Cheers Mike ...

Hi, You can download the ArcGIS Runtime SDK from the Customer Care Portal: http://customers.esri.com/. Please also note this forum is now closed - in future you should post in http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/131-ArcGIS-Runtime-SDK-for-WPF. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, I haven't had a chance to read the whole thread here - but you might want to take a look at the synchronization context info in http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/60409-Is-it-possible-to-edit-file-gdb-feature-classes-from-Windows-Service. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Is the machine running the latest graphics drivers? Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, The fundamental difference between DynamicLayers and FeatureLayers is... - DynamicLayers: Rendered as a single image (typically on a server) and displayed in the Map. Therefore any style changes or labelling changes are pushed up to the server which re-renders the image to be displayed in the map. - FeatureLayers: Pulled down to the client in response to a query (typically by extent but could also include attribute criteria) and displayed as Graphic objects. This means any styles or labelling need to be applied on the client by the API. There are a number of renderers (Simple, Unique, Classbreaks) and symbols (SimpleMarker, PictureMarker, SimpleLine, SimpleFill & PictureFill) available on the client but unfortunately in the current release there is no client-side labelling engine. This is something we're investigating for a future release. However, that's not to say to cannot achieve both. You could add the data twice - once as a DynamicLayer with labels, and once as a FeatureLayer. For the FeatureLayer you could try clearing the renderer and just having MapTips. Or alternatively, set the FeatureLayer to SelectionOnly mode and experiment with selecting features on mouse move. The latter approach might impact performance though. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Unfortunately there is currently no LocalImageService in the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF, nor is one scheduled for a future release. If this is something you would like to see included please vote on the suggestion over at ArcGIS Ideas: http://shar.es/AHRbR. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi Matt, TPKs are read directly and are not cached anywhere on disk. Did you use the same MXD for both packages? - and if so did you update the full extent? Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Unfortunately there aren't tools included in the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF that could be used to create a terrain profile when completely disconnected. Your primary option is to use a Server Object Extension (SOE) hosted in an instance of ArcGIS for Server. Esri host an example of this approach on one of the SampleServers (http://sampleserver4.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Elevation/ESRI_Elevation_World/MapServer/exts/ElevationsSOE/ElevationLayers/1/GetElevationProfile) - but that's a sample only. Or alternatively, terrain profile is one of the tools that should appear in the new online analytics that esri will be offering - some info about the initial beta services available can be found here: https://developers.arcgis.com/en/rest/analysis/.

I'm not aware of anything in the API that would account for this (e.g. some form of scale-dependent precision) but my initial reaction is that perhaps it's something as simple as when digitizing you're at a sufficiently small scale to make the end of the line appear coincident with the point but in reality it's 100s/1000s metres away? Cheers ... View more

That's great news, thanks for the update. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, I believe what you're seeing is just a product of the geometry of the start/end point of the line not being exactly the same as the points? i.e. - are you performing a hit test to determine which graphic the user has clicked/selected then using that as the start and end point? To do this you could use the FindGraphicsInHostCoordinates method on the GraphicsLayer (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/apiref/index.html?ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.GraphicsLayer~FindGraphicsInHostCoordinates(Point,Int32).html). ... Actually I see from your code the user should already have a graphic selected - therefore you could use the geometry of the point(s) the user has selected to create the line (to ensure the coordinates are coincident). Regarding the cluster renderer - unfortunately that is not yet supported in the accelerated display mode. For custom symbols you could create them programmatically in code and use RenderTargetBitmap to render them as images then assign the image as a PictureMarkerSymbol. Generally we also advise using a Renderer to apply symbols to all features in a layer rather than creating individual symbol instances per graphic. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, To determine what dev/test and deployment licenses you have registered you can use the License Viewer tool that's included with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF. It's accessed from the start menu. Licensing in the ArcGIS Runtime is different from ArcGIS Engine, in that licenses are now per-application. For more information please see the licensing and deployment topics in the help: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/concepts/index.html#/Licensing_applications/01700000006p000000/. Regarding the Spatial Analyst Extension - this functionality is accessed in the ArcGIS Runtime via Geoprocessing Packages (.GPK). These packages can include models and scripts and are published from ArcMap. The packaging process does a lot of work behind the scenes to ensure that your geoprocessing tool will still work when you use it within an ArcGIS Runtime application (e.g. validating inputs/outputs, rewiring output paths). For an example of some functionality that is available with Spatial Analyst please take a look at the Sample Application - under "Geoprocessing" > "Spatial Analyst" there is a Contour sample which uses the Spatial Analyst Contour Tool to convert a DEM to contours. To create your Geoprocessing Package for use with the runtime please follow the help topic: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/concepts/index.html#/How_to_author_and_publish_a_geoprocessing_model/0170000000m5000000/. Beyond that, you can read the geoprocessing documentation in the ArcGIS for Desktop help: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/#/What_is_geoprocessing/002s00000001000000/. Only a subset of the desktop GP tools are supported in the ArcGIS Runtime - listed here: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/concepts/index.html#/Supported_geoprocessing_tools/01700000006r000000/.
