So it seems. Still, if I explicitly set returnGeometry = false I'd expect no geometries to be returned. ... View more

Hi Berend, We made some tests and it seems that the problem is from ArcGIS Desktop side: if we change the Desktops Windows 7 Regional Settings from Portuguese (Portugal) format  to English (United States), the decimal part of numbers is displayed, Best Regards, António Sérgio ... View more

Berend Veldkamp wrote: ... Oh, and one more thing: Initially the breakpoint looks invalid (the breakpoint will not currently be hit). Don't let that fool you, because as soon as the addin is loaded, e.g. by clicking on a button, the breakpoint will be valid. ... This is the clincher for me. I changed the runtime version in arcmap.exe.config as per the "unofficial" solution, and I was still getting the invalid breakpoint message. But just as Berend said, as soon as you start your addin, the breakpoint functions as intended. Thank you for saving me pointless additional troubleshooting! ... View more

Hi, Yes, you would need to use the ArcGIS Mobile SDK which currently, as far as I know, needs to work against a mobile enabled map service provided by ArcGIS Server. Using the create mobile cache GP tool in the toolbox creates an entirely new mobile cache each execution, which means you can't use it to incrementally build up a larger cache over several executions. Thanks, Steve ... View more

aaah the puzzle is fitting and currentTool is always set when i click on a tool-button because the method on activate is called and onactivate is the equivalent to onclick of buttons, isnt it? i think that was what i meant in my second post or just after clicking the tool's button? if that's all correct i think it shall work now thank you very much ...

Melinda, Thanks for your suggestion, I think this should be the way to go. Unfortunately reality is tougher, and I couldn't find an event that is triggered 'at the right moment'. I ended up drawing the feature's swatch manually on top of the generated image. Since in my case they are always point features, that's not too hard. ... View more

Well MapAction is an abstract class so you would have to extend one of the existing derived classes:             ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.MapActions.DragRectangleMapAction             ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.MapActions.PanMapAction             ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.MapActions.SelectionMapAction             ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.MapActions.ZoomInMapAction             ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.MapActions.ZoomInOutMapAction             ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.MapActions.ZoomOutMapAction             ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.Sketch.SketchTool Please note that SketchTool is also an abstract class so you would have to extend one of it's derived classe:                ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.WPF.AddVertexSketchTool                   ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.WPF.DeleteVertexSketchTool                   ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.WPF.EnvelopeSketchTool                   ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.WPF.InsertVertexSketchTool                   ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.WPF.MoveVertexSketchTool                   ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.WPF.SelectGeometryTool Here is an example using the EnvelopeSketchTool: EnvelopeSketchTool envelopeSketchTool; private void btnSelectLayer_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)         {             setupSelectTool();         }        private void setupSelectTool()        {                       //setup selection layer            selectionLayer = new GraphicLayer();            map1.MapGraphicLayers.Add(selectionLayer);            selectionLayer.GeometryBag.Add(new ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.Geometries.Polygon());            selectionLayer.SelectedGeometry = selectionLayer.GeometryBag[0];            m_lastNavigatioMode = map1.CurrentNavigationMode;            map1.CurrentNavigationMode = ESRI.ArcGIS.Mobile.WPF.NavigationMode.None;            envelopeSketchTool = new EnvelopeSketchTool();            envelopeSketchTool.AttachToSketchGraphicLayer(selectionLayer);            envelopeSketchTool.SketchCompleted += doneSketch;        }         //public delegate void SelectEnvelopeCompleteEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e);         //public event SelectEnvelopeCompleteEventHandler OnShowBoundary;         private void doneSketch(object sender, EventArgs e)         {                              Envelope env = envelopeSketchTool.Envelope;             //turn off once selection done             if (envelopeSketchTool != null)                 envelopeSketchTool.DetachFromSketchGraphicLayer();                 //now call method to select     SelectFeatures(env); } ...

What do you mean by the "true centroid", the center of gravity? In that case you could use IGeometry5.CentroidEx(). If you want the midpoint on a polyline (halfway between 'from' and 'to'), use ICurve.QueryPoint(esriSegmentExtension.esriNoExtension, 0.5, true, outPoint). ... View more

I've found that inserting the following code into your solution will help with debugging custom GPFunctions.  This line will prompt you to start a session of Visual Studio and allow you to step through your code. System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch(); I just used this the other week against a custom GP function I built and place the code within its execution method. ... View more

Agreed. I also hope that there can be some kind of indication that something is loading, ie when adding map services, when I enter a URL I have no idea if it is loading, if there are no maps to load, etc. I think that there should be some kind of visual cue that it is doing something. Edit: Add/Modify features as a default task would also be nice. ... View more

These two dll's don't seem to be included with ArcGIS Server (10.1). Can I copy them from another system where I have Desktop? ... View more
