Hi, I think your best option for tackling this would be to contact technical support. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi Mody, The authorization code that you use to request licenses will timeout with your EDN subscription (i.e. you won't be able to request new Basic deployment licenses after your EDN subscription has timed out), but the deployment license key/string itself which is returned by the Software Authorization Wizard and accessed via the  License Viewer will not timeout. I hope that clarifies the process, but if not, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Yes, you can use the same Basic license string from the License Viewer in each deployment of your application. That same is true for Standard and Extension licenses (i.e. purchaseable licenses) except that you need to ensure you have purchased the correct amount of licenses for the number of times you intend to deploy that application. This is intended to make it as easy as possible to develop and deploy applications. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, When your EDN subscriber requests a Basic Deployment license from the EDN Customer Care site they should receive an authorization number (e.g. ABC123456789). You should then run number through the Software Authorization Wizard accessed from the start menu under ArcGIS > Runtime SDK 1.0 for WPF > Runtime Tools. The Software Auth. Wizard will communicate with the esri servers online and generate the appropriate licenses which are added to a local store on your machine. You then access those as license strings from the License Viewer (under the same location in the Start Menu). The reason for the License Viewer step is that it conveniently creates the correct license string and even the syntax for the scenario you choose (i.e. test/deploy, basic/standard/standard+extensions, C#/VB.NET). For example the output from the license viewer could be something like: ArcGISRuntime.SetLicense("runtimebasic,101,abc123456789,FGHGJFKDJGGHDJDKSJ"); The SetLicense call needs to be made before any ArcGIS Runtime functionality is accessed. If you look at the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF project template in Visual Studio you'll see we suggest setting the license in the Application class. Once you've called SetLicense you should then call the Initialize() method on the ArcGISRuntime class. This will throw an exception if the license is invalid for any reason. Deployment licenses do not timeout and therefore if it's valid at the outset it should remain valid. An exception is therefore unlikely, but of course should always be catered for. e.g. This code will simply pop up a message box then close the app if the license is invalid.             // Initialize the ArcGIS Runtime before any components are created. try {     ArcGISRuntime.SetLicense("runtimebasic,101,abc123456789,FGHGJFKDJGGHDJDKSJ");     ArcGISRuntime.Initialize(); } catch (Exception ex) {     // Alert the user (you may not want to display the actual error message to the user)     MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());     // Exit application     this.Shutdown(); } Cheers Mike ...

Hi, I think there's nothing wrong with your code - the only issue is the coordinates of the Envelope you're specifying. You'll find the red box is there but it's just super small. The Envelope values are spatial coordinates - and in the case of the example online which uses "0,0,10,10" those are in WGS84 so the X and Y values could be -180 / 180 and -90 / 90. However your map does not explicitly define an extent or spatial reference and therefore it's taken from the first layer which is the world streetmap in the Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere coordinate system - valid values for X and Y are therefore -20000000 / 20000000 - hence why the red box is very, very small.

Hi, Can you post a sample of your code? Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, The Geoprocessing Tool "Export Map Server Cache" was available with ArcGIS 10.0 but it's parameters changed at 10.1 to allow the export of Tile Packages. Therefore you can use ArcGIS 10.0 Desktop & Server to achieve this or ArcGIS 10.1 Desktop and Server. Note that ArcGIS Server 10.0 cannot create Tile Packages. Alternatively you may find calling the server tool from a Python script works better for you - there are examples in the tool help links below (for both 10.0 and 10.1). However, the ArcGISLocalTiledLayer can read both Tile Packages as TPK files and and compact cache from the file system (the Path property needs to point to the folder containing the conf.cdi file). You can therefore test with a cache generated by ArcGIS Server 10.0 as a compact cache. Depending on what type of testing you wish to undertake, you could just copy the files from the server to your client machine - but beware that the cache could be many gigabytes. For more information see: Tool help 10.0: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//005400000013000000.htm Tool help 10.1: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//005400000013000000 Import/Export help: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//0154000003sq000000 Cheers Mike ...

Hi, The videos of the plenary are available online: http://www.esri.com/events/user-conference/agenda/plenary-videos.html - the future highlights were shown in the afternoon session. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, If you'd like to see GML supported as a standard feature please submit the idea over on the ArcGIS Ideas site (http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaList?category=ArcGIS+Runtime) - we regularly review the ideas posted here and based on demand/feedback will consider them for inclusion in the product in a future release. No one has yet posted GML as a request as far as I'm aware. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Likewise - I just tested with your layers and cannot reproduce the problem you're experiencing with MoveLayer.         private void MovetopLayerDown_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)         {             _map.MoveLayer(0, 1);         }     <Grid>          <esri:Map x:Name="_map" UseAcceleratedDisplay="False">             <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer                 ID="Orthofoto"                 Url="http://gisservices.inbo.be/ArcGIS/rest/services/Orthofoto/MapServer"                 Visible="True"                 />             <esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer                 ID="Overview"                 Url="http://gisservices.inbo.be/ArcGIS/rest/services/Viewer_overview/MapServer"                 Visible="True"                 />         </esri:Map>         <StackPanel>             <Button Content="Move top layer down" Name="MovetopLayerDown" Click="MovetopLayerDown_Click" HorizontalAlignment="Left"  VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="auto" Height="auto"/>                    </StackPanel>     </Grid> Cheers Mike ...

Hi, The ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF already has 3D analysis capabilities provided by Geoprocessing. We are planning to add 3D visualization functionality in the future across all the ArcGIS native appplications/SDKs. Some demonstrations of this were shown at the recent User Conference in San Diego, in an application developed for the Mac OSx platform I believe. For WPF we hope to be able to add 3D visualization sometime during the next year but it's not possible to be more specific at this time. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, There is no direct support for GML in the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF. However, if this is a key requirement for you, you could consider writing a custom layer. An example of this (the KML layer implementation) can be found in the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Toolkit.Datasources source code available on codeplex: http://esrisilverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/80697. Download the source code then look in "ESRIToolkitSource_v2.4.zip\WPF\ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Toolkit.DataSources\Kml". Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Following on from Antti's question - please can you post your XAML/code which shows how the layer is defined/added and how it is being moved? Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi Miri, I've just uploaded a dynamic layers sample to ArcGIS Online: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=953a530ada30477d95cc69e788268bc9. This demonstrates adding Shapefiles and raster datasets to the map - I believe you said you were experiencing problems with rasters? If so, I hope this sample will help you resolve the issue.

Hi, We decided that the PanBuffer behavior was inconsistent with other the dynamic service layer types in the API (and with dynamic layer behavior in the other Runtime SDKs) and therefore removed the property prior to the final release. It seems there are however orphaned PanBuffer API reference topics which appear when searching for that term. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and I apologize for any confusion this has caused. Your basemap layers if implemented as tiled layers (represented by the ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer and ArcGISLocalTiledLayer classes) should always provide a near-seamless panning experience. Dynamic layers will always be drawn on demand based on the requested map extent (the PanBuffer was simply just requesting a larger extent than the current map window). Cheers Mike ... View more
