Hi, This error occurs when the tile download fails because the service is not available. Unfortunately, we've not been able to reproduce this error yet. #. Have you tried registering a handler for the TileLoading event then checking the error property? - does this contain any information? #. Next time this error occurs it would be great if you could capture the failed tile request and response in Fiddler and post here - or email me on [email protected]. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Is there any information in the TaskFailedEventArgs.Error.Message ? Does your local map service (started from an MPK) contain 3 layers? At the line queryTask2.Url = _mapService.UrlMapService & "/2" it's using a zero-based indexing to refer to a specific layer within the local map service. Therefore, if you don't have 3 layers the URL it's constructing won't be a valid which would trigger the failed event immediately. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Does the Union sample in the sample application work? (Geometry > Geometry Operations > Union). Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, You can't hide the warning message - it's there to remind you that your application is setting a license string using a dev/test license. Once you have obtained a deployment license and are passing the deployment license string in the ArcGISRuntime.SetLicense method the message box will no longer be displayed. Cheers Mike ...

Hi, Unfortunately there's nothing currently in the API to retrieve the existing renderer for layers within a local map service. However, you should be able to construct the URL for a REST request to the ...\MapServer endpoint and download the JSON as a string which will contain the rendering information. The Renderer class has a FromJson method which enables you to reconstruct the renderer from the downloaded JSON. We'll investigate a better way to support this in a future release. Cheers Mike ...

Hi, Many thanks for the update - we'll investigate whether this is something that need to be addressed in the API. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, If you're working with GraphicsLayers then you should deinfitely be trying to use the hardware accelerated display capability - either via the map property to affect all layers in the map, or if you still need some animated/custom symbols in your app then you can use the AcceleratedDisplayLayers group layer for the majority of your layers (inc Tiled, Dynamic layers) and keep the number of layers/symbols rendered by the standard WPF map rendering to a minimum. For any symbols not supported you'll get a "Symbol not serializable to JSON" error - in this case you should investigate switching those symbols to one of supported symbol types (primarily SimpleMarker, PictureMarker, SimpleLine, SimpleFill). The accelerated display was specifically designed to improve the performance of graphics. The improvement in tiled and dynamic layers is marginal since most of the overhead is in rendering the image on the server or downloading tiles/images but it is still worthwhile. We've made further advances in the accelerated display since v1.0 in performance and in layer/symbol support and you'll see those in the forthcoming 10.1.1 release. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, What types of layer are you loading - Tiled? Dynamic? Graphics? or a combination? Are these local or online layers? Are you using the hardware accelerated display? Cheers Mike ... View more

Hello Mike, some customers here in Spain are looking forward to have this type of functionlity in the core SDK of WPF Runtime. At this moment, this is only possible using copy to clipboard tricks, or just using ArcGIS Server. Since many runtime deployments are going to be made in cirscumstances without conectivity, it would be very useful to have some kind of simple printing capabilities in the core SDK. Do you have plans to incorporate off-line internal printing/task capabilities in next realeases? Thank you very much and kind regards, Hi, Many thanks for your feedback, we are investigating ways in which we can improve client-side / offline printing for a future release. If you can post your suggestion over at http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaList?category=ArcGIS+Runtime that will help us prioritize the requirements. Cheers Mike ... View more

Would it be possible to send your own JSON-string to the PrintTask only containing the information about the graphics of that layer? If so, could someone point me in the right direction? I'm using this sample as a frame: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-api/samples/start.htm#ExportWebMap It works great except with a layer I created on my own that inherits from GraphicsLayer. Hi, The print service accepts valid WebMaps and therefore I wouldn't expect it to support custom layers. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, In that case you can simply programmatically build up Polyline geometries by specifying their Paths property: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/apiref/index.html?ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Geometry.Polyline~Paths.html. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, That depends on what you would like the MapPoint to represent - if it's the geometry of the position the user clicked on the map then Map_MouseClick is a good option, or alternatively you could consider the Draw class: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/apiref/index.html?ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Draw.html. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, The MapPoint geometry can be constructed from any coordinates you have. You can also convert between screen coordinates and geographic coordinates so the interaction does not necessarily need to come from the map itself. You may also want to consider using the Draw object in conjunction with the map? - see the samples for example usage. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, You can use a ControlTemplate to provide a custom symbol - see http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/apiref/index.html?ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Symbols.Symbol.html for more information. Cheers Mike ... View more
