@MikkelHylden Yes, your scenario is different from the subject of this post - I recommend starting a new post or awaiting the results of the investigation into the ticket you have open. Thanks

When working with map services (MapServer endpoint) via the ArcGISMapImageLayer class, ArcGIS Runtime makes a request to the MapServer/Export operation with the image being rendered on the server-side. The default image format is PNG which will support transparency here (and is therefore not specified/overridden in the request). The `transparent` parameter is included in the request, to set the background of the map as the transparent color in the image. If the image returned is not honoring the transparency defined in the service that might indicate the image being rendered on the server is not respecting the transparency. Note that the opacity for the ArcGISMapImageLayer itself will be 1, unless you override it because that's the overall map as you published it from Pro. The individual layers are accessed through the Sublayers property - these are where you will see the transparency/opacity property specified and it should match the service definition. https://developers.arcgis.com/net/api-reference/api/net/Esri.ArcGISRuntime/Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Mapping.ArcGISMapImageLayer.html https://developers.arcgis.com/net/api-reference/api/net/Esri.ArcGISRuntime/Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Mapping.ArcGISMapImageLayer.Sublayers.html#Esri_ArcGISRuntime_Mapping_ArcGISMapImageLayer_Sublayers Thanks

Can you provide more information about your application/project architecture? The shaders folder is deployed automatically when you build your application and can be found in your project output folder adjacent to your application executable. For example, for a WPF .NET 6 app referencing the current version of ArcGIS Runtime and built as debug this would be: `<YourApplicationProject>\bin\Debug\net6.0-windows10.0.19041.0\ArcGISRuntime100.13\resources\shaders`. You need to ensure the ArcGISRuntime100.13 folder is deployed along with your application. I'm also curious if this exception would have been caught with n UnhandledException handler, instead of causing your app to crash. For example: { ... AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomain_UnhandledException; ... } private void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e) { Trace.TraceInformation($"Unhandled Exception Handler.{Environment.NewLine}{e.ExceptionObject}"); } Thanks

Hi, Welcome to ArcGIS Runtime and maps! Unfortunately ECW is not one of the currently supported raster formats. The list of supported formats is available here: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/layers/add-raster-data/#supported-raster-formats Once you have the imagery in a supported format this sample will demonstrate how to add raster data from file: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/wpf/sample-code/raster-layer-file/ Alternatively, if the imagery is not updated often and you have access to ArcGIS Pro then you could consider creating a map tile package (.tpkx) of the images. For more information, see https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/data-management/create-map-tile-package.htm Thanks

Thanks for the update and for re-testing. This issue is still in our backlog and we would like to resolve in a future release, but unfortunately the first candidate fix we considered caused a rendering regression on certain Android devices. I've emailed you regarding the preview program. Thanks

Perhaps the issue is the image format being requested. I recommend: Look at the metadata for the MapServer endpoint (e.g. https://sampleserver6.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Census/MapServer). This will show the image formats supported (e.g. `Supported Image Format Types: PNG32,PNG24,PNG,JPG,DIB,TIFF,EMF,PS,PDF,GIF,SVG,SVGZ,BMP`). Use a network traffic monitoring tool (e.g. Fiddler) to inspect the request being made by the API. If you can't use a network traffic tool, you could also try temporarily implementing a handler for the ArcGISHttpClientHandler.HttpRequestBegin event which sets a global HTTP request listener invoked every time a request is made by the API. For more info see https://developers.arcgis.com/net/api-reference/api/netstandard/Esri.ArcGISRuntime/Esri.ArcGISRuntime.Http.ArcGISHttpClientHandler.HttpRequestBegin.html. Then write the HttpRequestMessageRequestUri to the output window / console.

Hi, To clarify, do you mean with the 100.8 release JPEG2000 GMLJP2 displays OK but JPEG2000 Part 1 does not display? It sounds like your customer has a viable alternative in their workflow, which would be recommended anyway soon because the JPEG-2000 part 1 is planned for removal from GDAL in a future release.

The ability to use tiled basemaps in a specific spatial reference system depends on those services being available in that spatial reference. ArcGIS basemaps are available in both Web Mercator and WGS 84: ArcGIS Online Basemaps World Basemaps (WGS84)

We are pleased to announce the 100.13 release of ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET. This release includes significant new features, enhancements to existing features, performance improvements, bug fixes, and a preview of the roadmap. You can read about the highlights common to all ArcGIS Runtime SDKs in the shared ArcGIS Runtime blog post and additional details in the 100.13 Release Notes. For our .NET community here are a few more highlights... WinUI 3 ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET now supports building desktop apps with Windows UI Library (WinUI) 3, the native UI framework for building Windows apps for Windows 10 and later. WinUI 3 can be used directly as the UI layer for your windows desktop apps instead of WinForms and WPF controls, enabling you to combine the modern aesthetic and performance of the WinUI 3 UX with ArcGIS Runtime capabilities targeting the Win32 desktop app platform where you are currently using WPF or WinForms. The ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET Project Templates Visual Studio extension includes two new .NET 6 application project templates with a WinUI-based user interface containing an ArcGIS Runtime MapView: ArcGIS Runtime App, Packaged (WinUI 3 in Desktop): This project template generates an application project with the package manifest and other support needed to build the app into an MSIX package without the use of a separate packaging project. To use this project template, you must also install the single-project MSIX packaging tools extension for Visual Studio. ArcGIS Runtime App, Packaged with WAP (WinUI 3 in Desktop): In addition to the application project, the solution also includes a separate Windows Application Packaging (WAP) Project that is configured to build the app into an MSIX package. More information and resources: Install tools for developing apps for Windows 10 and Windows 11 (Microsoft docs) Try out ArcGIS Runtime and WinUI with the sample view in the samples GitHub repo. Get started with WinUI (Microsoft docs). Migrate your apps to WinUI (Microsoft docs). WinUI Roadmap (Microsoft docs). .NET 6 ArcGIS Runtime now supports .NET 6 when building WPF or WinUI apps. Targeting .NET 6 frees your applications from the system-wide .NET Framework dependency, offers greater performance, and offers deployment improvements such as entirely self-contained executables. With the release of ArcGIS Runtime 100.13, since .NET 6 is the current LTS release of .NET Core / .NET, .NET Core 3.1 and .NET 5 are no longer supported as target frameworks. More information and resources: Upgrade your apps to .NET 6 with the .NET Upgrade Assistant (Microsoft docs). Example of migrating to the latest .NET (Microsoft docs). Visual Studio 2022 The ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET Visual Studio extension now supports Visual Studio 2022, enabling you to take advantage of the latest tools and performance improvements. Two editions of the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET Visual Studio extension are available: ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET Project Templates extension contains application project templates that you can install directly in Visual Studio via the Manage Extensions dialog (Microsoft docs). ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET extension contains application project templates plus a local NuGet package source for offline development. You can download the extension from the ArcGIS Developer site. See Install and set up for install options and instructions. Performance Memory management Internal improvements to the lifecycle of native references have reduced memory usage in many common scenarios and resolved the following issues: BUG-000116437 Memory leak opening and closing multiple maps with polygon graphics or features. BUG-000125701 Memory leak in ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET when repeatedly adding and clearing operational layers from a map service. BUG-000138424 Embedding the Map control inside a Windows Forms using System.Windows.Forms.Integration.ElementHost causes a memory leak. BUG-000141890 MobileMapPackage.OpenAsync() causes a memory leak when called too often in ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET. Collection performance Improved performance when adding new items to classes deriving from RuntimeCollection and RuntimeObservableCollection. For example, when adding Graphics to the GraphicsOverlay.Graphics collection you might see: Add method time reduced by up to 20% and memory allocation reduced by up to 80%. AddRange method time reduced by up to 10% and memory allocation reduced by up to 25%. Toolkit Version 100.13 of the Toolkit for ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET will be available soon and will include three new controls/components: OverviewMap displays an interactive inset map for a map or scene. BasemapGallery shows basemaps, either from a Portal or a custom collection, and optionally applies the selected basemap to a map or scene. SearchView enables searching using one or more locators, with support for suggestions, automatic zooming, and custom search sources. Samples New samples, sample updates, and enhancements to the sample viewer apps: New WinUI samples and sample viewer. Sample Perform Valve Isolation Trace updated with Filter Barriers. Sample Graphics Reindeer updated to include curved geometry types. Roadmap We have an exciting few months ahead as we continue to work on planned support for .NET 6 with Android and iOS; and .NET MAUI in ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET. ArcGIS Runtime Local Server ArcGIS Runtime Local Server 100.13 will be available soon and will include support for geoprocessing and map packages created with ArcGIS Pro 2.9.x. We thank you for your ongoing support and feedback and hope you will find these updates valuable as you continue to use ArcGIS Runtime to build amazing applications for your users. The ArcGIS Runtime .NET team

In this topic - https://developers.arcgis.com/net/offline-maps-scenes-and-data/ - the specific info is: Fully disconnected: A fully disconnected workflow is suitable for apps that do not require regular data updates, or for apps that will never have access to a network connection. Apps can operate in a fully disconnected environment by opening mobile map packages or mobile scene packages created with ArcGIS Pro. These read-only packages can be shared within an organization or distributed by traditional means and copied onto any number of devices. See Take a map offline with ArcGIS Pro or Take a scene offline with ArcGIS Pro for more details. Also see this topic https://developers.arcgis.com/net/layers/#arcgis-data-layers for info on specific layer types that can be used offline (as packages and files).

Hi, Can you try to get a native call stack by following the steps in this Guide doc? https://developers.arcgis.com/net/reference/debug-using-arcgis-runtime-windows-symbol-files/ Are you able to share a repro app / code / data? Thanks

‎12-01-2021

Hi, I recommend starting with https://developers.arcgis.com/net/offline-maps-scenes-and-data/ Also take a look at this example: https://github.com/Esri/data-collection-dotnet Thanks

Hi, Currently the way you select features in a SceneLayer is via interaction with the features displayed in the SceneView. This requires calling Identify, which returns a collection of features you then pass to the SelectFeature method. On the roadmap, we are considering adding one or more query operations to the scene layer where user interaction is not required. Thanks

Hi Joe, Version 100.6 entered the Extended Support phase in Sept 2020 and is now in the Mature Support phase as of Sept 2021. Products/versions in the Extended and Mature Support phases are not certified for major new versions of operating systems. There is additional information in: Product Life Cycle - 100.6 Esri Product Lifecycle Support Policy We have had to make some fixes/enhancements to account for changes in iOS since 100.6, typically around location privacy and deprecation of associated iOS APIs. For example, 100.7 included changes to accommodate the iOS 13 'Allow only once' location permission and 100.10 included changes for the iOS 14 precise/approximate location permissions. We will be certifying the upcoming 100.13 release on iOS 15. Thanks
