Hi, Are you trying to implement reports within a custom app you've built with ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET, or within ArcGIS Pro? ... View more

Not at all, glad you raised this - there's not a lot of doc on it, so it's good to establish a consistent pattern in all our public sample code. It turns out we've had the workaround in our regular samples viewer for some time but hadn't applied it to the toolkit samples. We've done that now too. https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-samples-dotnet/blob/74397e25e1fb5bad16cb4a8ffca6fa066c9b3292/src/Forms/UWP/App.xaml.cs#L65 https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-toolkit-dotnet/blob/7ee28956aed504aeabc842ea697cca6e2bbec283/src/Samples/Toolkit.Samples.Forms/Toolkit.Samples.Forms.UWP/App.xaml.cs#L56   Recently also found this blog post: https://tomsoderling.github.io/what-every-Xamarin.Froms-developer-needs-to-know-about-UWP/  ...

That's great news. It shouldn't need to be an empty map package, but that's a cleaner way to do it. Ideally the spatial references of your data, map package (local map service), and mapview are the same to avoid the overhead of any dynamic reprojection. But the local server will reproject on-the-fly if needed.  ... View more

John, Paul, If you run the UWP Toolkit Samples in Release mode do the LayerLegend/Legend samples display legend images? Thanks   ... View more

It sounds like it might represent a form of symbol to style a graphic in a graphics overlay?   You could use RenderTagetBitmap to render an image and apply that via a PictureMarkerSymbol. Here's some code that creates a UniqueValueRenderer from a series of UIElements rendered using RenderTargetBitmap: private async Task CreatePictureMarkerSymbols() { _strobeCanvas = new Canvas(); Ellipse ellipse = new Ellipse() { Height = 40, Width = 40, IsHitTestVisible = false, RenderTransform = new ScaleTransform(), Fill = new RadialGradientBrush() { GradientStops = new GradientStopCollection(5) { new GradientStop(Color.FromArgb(0,255, 0, 0),0), new GradientStop(Color.FromArgb(255,255, 0, 0),0.25), new GradientStop(Color.FromArgb(0,255, 0, 0),0.5), new GradientStop(Color.FromArgb(255,255, 0, 0),0.75), new GradientStop(Color.FromArgb(0,255, 0, 0),1), } } }; _strobeCanvas.Children.Add(ellipse); for (int i = 1; i <= _numberOfPictureMarkerSymbols; i++) { // Scale up the Ellipse double increment = Convert.ToDouble(i) / 5; Transform scaleTransform = new ScaleTransform(increment, increment); double scaleTransformOrigin = 0; ellipse.Opacity -= _opacityStep; ellipse.RenderTransform = scaleTransform; ellipse.RenderTransformOrigin = new Point(scaleTransformOrigin, scaleTransformOrigin); _strobeCanvas.RenderTransform = scaleTransform; _strobeCanvas.RenderTransformOrigin = new Point(scaleTransformOrigin, scaleTransformOrigin); _strobeCanvas.Measure(new Size(Double.PositiveInfinity, Double.PositiveInfinity)); _strobeCanvas.Arrange(new Rect(ellipse.DesiredSize)); Rect bounds = VisualTreeHelper.GetContentBounds(ellipse); bounds.Transform(ellipse.RenderTransform.Value); var dpiXProperty = typeof(SystemParameters).GetProperty("DpiX", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static); var dpiX = (int)dpiXProperty.GetValue(null, null); double dpi = Convert.ToDouble(dpiX); // Create a new RenderTargetBitmap to render the ellipse RenderTargetBitmap renderTargetBitmap = new RenderTargetBitmap( (Int32)(bounds.Width * dpi / 96.0), (Int32)(bounds.Height * dpi / 96.0), dpi, dpi, PixelFormats.Pbgra32); // Setup the drawing context DrawingVisual drawingVisual = new DrawingVisual(); using (DrawingContext drawingContext = drawingVisual.RenderOpen()) { VisualBrush visualBrush = new VisualBrush(ellipse); drawingContext.DrawRectangle(visualBrush, pen: null, rectangle: new Rect(new Point(), bounds.Size)); } // Render the visual element renderTargetBitmap.Render(drawingVisual); // Use a PngBitmapEncoder to retrieve the image PngBitmapEncoder pngBitmapEncoder = new PngBitmapEncoder(); pngBitmapEncoder.Frames.Add(BitmapFrame.Create(source: renderTargetBitmap)); using (var stream = new MemoryStream()) { pngBitmapEncoder.Save(stream); stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); // Create a new PictureMarkerSymbol and set the Source PictureMarkerSymbol pms = await PictureMarkerSymbol.CreateAsync(stream); // Create a new UniqueValueInfo class for this image instance UniqueValue strobeUniqueValueInfo = new UniqueValue() { Symbol = pms, }; // Add the UniqueValueInfo to the UniqueValueRenderer strobeUniqueValueInfo.Values.Add(i); _strobeUniqueValueRenderer.UniqueValues.Add(strobeUniqueValueInfo); } } // Set the UniqueValueRenderer field _strobeUniqueValueRenderer.FieldNames.Add(_strobeField); }   Alternatively, if it's one or more symbols defined in XAML and you are looking for a longer term solution and vectorized rendering then you could look into converting the XAML to SVG and importing the SVG into ArcGIS Pro as a symbol layer for a mobile style which you can use in ArcGIS Runtime.

A recording would really help us understand what you're seeing. If you're not able to upload here, please share it with me via [email protected]. We don't have a public link for this yet since it's just in triage at this stage - if it turns out to be an issue in the cache implementation that we need to resolve then we can share a public bug reference.  Thanks  ...

Hi, I've added an issue to our backlog to investigate and attempt to identify what might cause this issue. Thanks ... View more

A couple of options for resolving this: Reference the Esri.ArcGISRuntime.WPF NuGet package from your application project which will ensure the appropriate components are copied to the output folder. Set the ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.InstallPath Property ... View more

ArcGIS Runtime doesn't directly support SVG as a marker symbol (supported formats are BMP, GIF, ICO, JPEG, and PNG). You could explore converting the SVG to another format, or even perhaps export to XAML and use RenderTargetBitmap to render the icon in one of the supported formats. ArcGIS Runtime does support vectorized rendering via the Cartographic Information Model (CIM) specification. If you have access to ArcGIS Pro, you can import the SVG as a marker symbol layer, put your new symbol in a mobile style file, and use that mobile style in ArcGIS Runtime. This "Symbol Editor" demo shows how to use the style file in ArcGIS Runtime: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-demos-dotnet/tree/main/src/SymbolEditor.   ... View more

In ArcGIS Runtime most layer types that you add to the operational layers collection will re-project on-the-fly, either ArcGIS Runtime performs the reprojection or the reprojection may be done server-side in the case of map image layers (including from Local Server). But it is good practice to avoid having layers with different spatial references since reprojection inevitably incurs an overhead somewhere. Information about the ability of specific layer types to be re-projected is included in the API reference: https://developers.arcgis.com/net/wpf/api-reference/html/T_Esri_ArcGISRuntime_Mapping_Layer.htm   ...
