Hi, By default the LocalFeatureService which is created when you specify an ArcGISLocalFeatureLayer instance in XAML has a limit of 1000 features which matches the ArcGIS Server FeatureServer default limit of 1000 (in 10.1). In order to render more than the default 1000 features from this layer you will need to set the MaxRecords property on the LocalFeatureService. It is still possible to do this in XAML - you'll need to declare a LocalFeatureService as a resource then bind the Service property of the ArcGISLocalFeatureLayer to that local service. If you are working with that number of features in the display I would recommend considering the new accelerated display functionality - easily enabled in the example below by setting UseAcceleratedDisplay to true. Alternatively there is an AcceleratedDisplayLayers group layer which you can use to just enabled the new display on a specific set of layers (useful if you want one or two layers on top of the map with cluster renderers or animated symbols). For example: <Grid.Resources>     <esri:LocalFeatureService x:Key="_localFeatureService" Path="muCoeff.mpk" MaxRecords="500000" />     <esri:SimpleRenderer x:Key="ptRenderer">         <esri:SimpleRenderer.Symbol>             <esri:SimpleMarkerSymbol Style="Triangle" Color="Orange"/>         </esri:SimpleRenderer.Symbol>     </esri:SimpleRenderer> </Grid.Resources> <esri:Map x:Name="_mapControl" UseAcceleratedDisplay="True" > <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="World Topo Map"        Url="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer"/> <esri:ArcGISLocalFeatureLayer ID="MOUSE Manholes" LayerName="MOUSE Manholes"        Service="{StaticResource _localFeatureService}"        Renderer="{StaticResource ptRenderer}" /> </esri:Map> Cheers Mike ...

Hi, Shapefiles are supported as an input to Map Packages for use with the ArcGIS Runtime. When creating the package, if you choose to reference the data the original Shapefile will be referenced on disk and will not get converted. This approach will require the additional vector data format option in the Deployment Builder if you're creating a deployment. If you choose not to reference the the data, the Shapefile will be converted to a File Geodatabase and contained within the package. Additionally, Z and M values are supported with the Prerelease of the ArcGIS Runtime SDK. If you are still experiencing an issues I'd be keen to test the package you've created. Cheers Mike ...

Hi, Are you able to share the map package you're using in order that we can test it? Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, ArcGIS for Desktop or ArcGIS for Server can create the TPK - I'm investigating whether there's any recommended symbology available in the form of an MXD or set of LYR files. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, The packaging analyzers in ArcMap should prevent you from creating a Tile Package (TPK) containing layers which reference the ArcGIS Online and Bing services. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, The ArcGIS Runtime does not do anything to clean up the package unpack folder (C:\Users\<username>\Documents\ArcGIS\Packages) in order that the unpacked package contents can be reused between application sessions. The original package file and the unpacked contents will first be compared to determine whether the package is newer in which case it will be unpacked again. Any files/folders in %temp% called %TEMP%\arcgisruntime_xxxx should be cleaned up during the local server shutdown. If this is not the case, and you have a reproducer application/data that you can share, we'd be keen to test it. Providing API support for specifying the unpack location and the temp location is on the future roadmap. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, Yes, we have discussed implementing behaviour in the ArcGIS Runtime APIs similar to that of ArcGIS for Desktop/Explorer where tiles are reused/resampled to avoid displaying the no data tiles. I don't believe this will make the first release this summer but it is on the roadmap. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, One approach is to follow this example in the SilverLight forum: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/43928-How-to-collapse-the-map-service-node-in-Legend-by-default Cheers Mike ... View more

Thanks for the info. One more question, can I install 2.4 and 3.0 Pre-release on the same machine and use 10.0? Also if I only use ArcGIS Server layers/features in my 3.0 WPF application do I still need to use the deployment tool to deploy the app or can I still use Clickonce to deploy the app to our users in our organization (behind a firewall) as I currently do now. Thanks. Hi, Yes, you can install 2.4 and 3.0 Pre-release on the same machine but the default assembly references and toolbox UI components will be updated to v3.0. If you only use ArcGIS Server layers you will still need to use the Deployment Builder but this does not actually deploy the app, it just helps you to create an ArcGIS Runtime deployment folder with the minimum components you need. If you're only using services then the ArcGIS Runtime deployment will be very small. You will still need to deploy the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.dll assembly with your application (plus any other WPF client assemblies you use). ClickOnce deployment should work fine - please let me know as soon as possible if you experience any problems and we'll investigate. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, By default the ArcGIS Runtime API will first look for your developer license which is established when running the Software Authorization Wizard immediately after the installation. It's possible your central developer license file may now contain the old, expired licenses in addition to the new extended licenses. In order to resolve this you should: #1. Copy/backup your existing keycodes file: 64-bit OS: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ESRI\License10.1\sysgen\keycodes" 32-bit OS: "C:\Program Files\ESRI\License10.1\sysgen\keycodes" #2. Open the keycodes file in a text editor and delete the expired license strings #3. Try your application without the SetLicense call. #4. If this doesn't work, try rerunning the Software Authorization Wizard (accessed from the start menu > ArcGIS > Runtime SDK 1.0 for WPF > Runtime Tools) providing your new license file. The license warning message displays when you are setting a developer/test license string. Calling the SetLicense method will override your developer license file but only needs to be used in testing scenarios where the deployment machine does not have a central developer license.

Hi, Define Projection is a supported tool. However, it would appear the analyzers in ArcGIS for Desktop 10.1 Pre-release are preventing you packaging this - I'll investigate. Regarding Create Spatial Reference, currently we do not plan to support this tool. If you have a requirement for this tool please can you provide details of your workflow and we'll review whether the tool should be included. Cheers Mike ... View more

Hi, If you are only using services from ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS Online that represents a "Basic" license in the new ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF (v3.0 of the API). You will need to set the license string, but at the Basic level the license continues to be free. Cheers Mike ... View more
