Basically I don't want to "hijack" and take over the user's active portal (i.e. the one setup by the user through the Pro UI) because it could be their company's own portal and it's useful to them in session.  I want my code to be able to login to a portal different from the user's active one (their company's portal) and do some things without affecting the user's portal that they currently think they are still connected to in that session.  So if I did some code like this: var someOtherCompanyUri = new Uri("http://someothercompany.com/portal/", UriKind.Absolute); var someOtherCompanyPortal = ArcGISPortalManager.Current.AddPortal(someOtherCompanyUri); ArcGISPortalManager.Current.SetActivePortal(someOtherCompanyPortal); Will this change the user's active portal that was setup up by them through the standard UI of ArcGIS Pro? Effectively kicking them off their company's portal say? If it does, is there a way to get round this? ... View more

Hi, How would you go about trying to access the data from a ViewModel (belonging to a ProWindow) from another ViewModel? I have tried to find some way of doing it via the FrameworkApplication - in the same style as the DockPaneManager - but alas there does not seem to be an equivalent for a ProWindow. Should I hold a reference to the ViewModel in the Module class? ... View more

Sorry, I'm getting totally confused with WPF and how it works with MVVM and ESRI's SDK. I need to know where the most helpul, most appropriate resources are for this kind of development. At the moment I'm getting hung up over Commands and ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Controls.ProWindow.  It's just a simple user login interface and trying to figure out how the Login button should activate/light up.  Obviously I want to enable it when the user enters a username and password - but it's so confusing when you try to implement a command - Should I just use simple code behind? Should I build out an elaborate MVVM solution of my own making? Should I use Prism or ActiPro or some other 3rd Party library? When you start binding objects its hard to know which way you should bind, do you do it all in the XAML or all in code or a bit of both, what is the right way? There is no obvious way despite looking at tons of different tutorials and videos on the subject. Everyone has a slightly different way of doing things. Main Question How do you pass a binded object for evaluation through the command implementation? That is, the object is a "User" which is the Model (wrapped up in the ViewModel class) and has properties or Username, Password, PortalUrl - the UserViewModel comprises the User object and exposes it's inner properties of the User object so it can bind - but then I find it confusing trying to use a Command to check the object to see if its valid (i.e. completed out username/password/portalurl). Maybe I am over complicating things for something this simple, but on the other hand I want to do things the right way and not just hack something together. In the end I will be putting together a more complex UI and I will need to know this stuff in any case so I may as well learn it now with something simple. If anyone can help put me on the right track I would appreciate it. ... View more
