Hey, With bits and pieces of old stuff lying around on your system it's possible there's a conflict - but these are usually very hard to identify. If you've uninstalled all the unneeded old ESRI SDK/programs then I suggest running some house keeping apps - such as Windows Disk Cleanup, Regclean and/or CCleaner - perhaps there are some old Registry entries which are preventing successful install of the data expansion pack. Essentially what it's doing is laying down a few extra DLLs which are required for enterprise Geodatabase access. Regards Mike

Hi, When I Greek Grid with the sample data you sent I believe I did not see any issues with mis-alignment of data... Here are the steps I took (IN ARCGIS EXPLORER 1500): 1. Open ArcGIS Explorer 2. Set the Basemap to Bing Aerial imagery 3. Click the Explorer button/pearl in top left corner 4. Choose Map Properties 5. Select 2D Coordinate system tab 6. Pick �??Greek_Grid�?� from the drop down (via <More...> option) 7. In the Geographic Transformations box choose GGRS_1987_To_WGS_1984 8. Click OK 9. Click Add Content > Raster Data... 10. Browse for �??n.gonia_sdian63_58apo1.tif�?� 11. Click Open 12. This looks OK to me? ArcGIS Explorer 1500 is now available to be downloaded: http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/explorer/download.html. Regards Mike

Hi, I suggest taking a look at the ArcGIS Desktop help on SQL syntax for Shapefile/Geodatabase queries: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00s500000033000000.htm - this should help you get the syntax right. Regards Mike

Paul, This should be relatively straightforward... and you don't necesarily need ArcGIS Explorer for this since you already have the coordinates. If i understand correctly, all you want to do is run through a list of image files (referenced by the path in the spreadsheet) and insert the Lat/Long coordinates (which are also in the spreadsheet) into the EXIF header. If you're using .NET 3.0 or greater you could consider looking at the functionality in System.Windows.Media.Imaging in PresentationCore.dll. There is some more information online here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms748873.aspx#_metadata. You could write an ArcGIS Explorer Add-In which did this - but the majority of the work is outside the ArcGIS Explorer API. However, it's the ideal way to visualize them once done. Regards Mike

Stephen, The change between 500 and 900 was significant which had unavoidable implications for the nmf map schema. However, between 900, 1200 and the imminent 1500 we have ensured that maps from an earlier version will open in the latest release. This means you can go ahead and redefine your links using 1200 and they'll be fine in 1500 when you start using that. Regards Mike

Margo, Are you planning to post your print Add-In on ArcGIS.com - it would be great to see it in action? Many thanks for the feedback regarding legends - we will certainly consider it for a future release of ArcGIS Explorer. Regarding retrieving legend images in the current API - unfortunately that's going to be difficult as there isn't one single approach you can take. FeatureLayers (Shapefile / Geodatabase / GeoRSS / Graphics & Notes) have a FeatureRenderer/Symbol property on which you can call GetSymbol to obtain a symbol image and get a BitMap. Unfortunately Layer Files and Layer Packages (PackageLayers / Package ChildLayers in the API) do not have an equivalent. For map services you'll need to go via the SOAP or REST API of ArcGIS Server to get the map service legend information. Regards Mike

Nick, Assuming you're referring to ArcGIS Explorer Online... does it display a list of services then fail when actually trying to add a specific service? My suggestions would be: 1. Check your REST capability is working on you ArcGIS Server machine: enter http://<servername>/arcgis/rest/services into a web browser - you should see the REST services catalog. 2. Check your clientaccesspolicy.xml file on your ArcGIS Server machine: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197955(VS.95).aspx 3. Check how you're referring to your ArcGIS Server machine e.g. For my machine "kinesis" I need to use http://kinesis.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/ instead of just http://kinesis/arcgis/rest/services/ (which I would usually use for local applications) 4. Just to check... you need to click Add Content > GIS Service then in the "Search" pane that appears on the left hand side click the "URL" option > paste the fully qualified URL (example above) and click the search button (magnifying glass). Regards Mike

Eric, I'll cast around here for possible reasons why your install is failing. In the mean time - version 1500 of ArcGIS Explorer and the SDK is just about to be released so I suggest (unless you need to stick to 1200) you don't spend too much time investigating this problem and try the 1500 SDK install when it's available - there'll be a blog post to let everyone know. Regards Mike

Ben, Just found an issue with that code - you'll need to find the private void btnIdentify_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) method and copy/paste the section of code below to replace the code sample. It was just missing the extra slash (+ "/") in the URL construction. //Loop through the services adding MapServices to the ServiceInfo object foreach (ServiceLayer serviceLayer in serviceLayers) { if (serviceLayer.ServiceConnectionProperties.ServiceType == ESRI.ArcGISExplorer.Data.ServiceType.MapServer) { serviceInfo = new ServiceInfo(); serviceInfo.MapServiceName = serviceLayer.Name; serviceInfo.MapServiceURL = Convert.ToString(serviceLayer.ServiceConnectionProperties.Url) + "/" + serviceLayer.ServiceConnectionProperties.ServiceName + "/MapServer"; serviceIdentifyParams.MapServicesInfomation.Add(serviceInfo); } } Cheers Mike 2

Joerg, This is possible - you need to enable popup content for the WMS. Right click the WMS in the Contents window > Properties > Popup Content then check the box to "Display a popup window". Regards Mike

Ben, Querying map services (ServiceLayers) is a little more complex. By default, these are not included in the OOTB identify operation - as you have noted you need to explicitly enable this behaviour on a per-service basis. This is because map services can contain many thousands of coincident features which could cause a performance hit in ArcGIS Explorer. The ServiceLayer class also does not have the Search method as the Table does. Which means your best option if you want to include map services in your identify (/spatial search) is to use the ArcGIS SOAP API to perform the identify on the service and combine the results with the results from the Table.Search method... bearing in mind that you are likely have no control over the remote ArcGIS Server and therefore depending on many factors the query could take a little time to return so it's best done in an asynchronous fashion. I've attached a 7zip'd VS 2008 Solution of an example I wrote a while back - it's intended to be used in a DockWindow Add-In, but could be put behind a Button Add-In and the results displayed in a new Form. Unfortunately I just recompiled this against 1500 to remove a couple of issues which means you won't directly be able to build the project until 1500 is actually released... but that's pretty soon. You should however be able to open it and copy the relevant bits (inc UI components from the DockWindow form I hope - but if not it's basically just a Button and a TreeView control plus a CheckBox and a ProgressBar). N.B. There are some new query capabilities in the Explorer API at 1500 for both FeatureLayers and ServiceLayers/ServiceChildLayers - but they're more relevant to attribute queries than spatial searches. Cheers Mike 2

Hi, Are you referring to ArcGIS Explorer Online or Desktop? In either case the answer is yes. For ArcGIS Explorer Online, because it's a SilverLight application you'll need to follow some additional steps (standard for accessing resources across domains from a SilverLight web application)... 1. Create a new text file and save it as "clientaccesspolicy.xml" 2. Edit that file in a text file and paste in the following text: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <access-policy> <cross-domain-access> <policy> <allow-from http-request-headers="*"> <domain uri="*"/> </allow-from> <grant-to> <resource path="/" include-subpaths="true"/> </grant-to> </policy> </cross-domain-access> </access-policy> 3. Copy this file to to C:\inetpub\wwwroot on your ArcGIS Server machine. 4. When adding services from your local ArcGIS Server you'll then need to use a fully qualified domain name e.g. Instead of http://mymachine/ArcGIS/Rest/Services you should use http://mymachine.esri.com/ArcGIS/Rest/Services (depending on your network domain name). Oh and if it's ArcGIS Explorer Desktop? It should just work - e.g. use http://mymachine/ArcGIS/Services. Regards Mike

Timothy, That's a odd issue, and one I've not heard before. When you save a map (whether as a basemap or a regular map) the extent is saved. The only way I can imagine this issue arising is through some combination of steps where you save the basemap in for example WGS1984 and Lat/Long coordinates were used and you then switched to using WGS1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere in you actual map which uses metres as it's units. I've tried to reproduce this with the 1500 release and unfortunately I cannot. My advice at this point would be that we're so close to the release of version 1500 that it would be worth contuing your testing of other areas of the application for your purposes then check for this issue again in 1500. Regards Mike
