Here is one blog post about features vs feature services : http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2013/02/19/about-features-and-feature-services/ ... View more

Depending the use case (and data update interval) you might also add shapefile directly to WebMap without hosting it as FeatureService. If WebMap (and web application templates) has functionality that you are going to need in your web page, using it instead of custom application might be good way to go. http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/arcgisonline/demos/video21 To publish Feature Service from shapefile : http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgisonline/index.html#//010q0000006m000000 After you have published that you can refer that from WebMap (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgisonline/index.html#/About_using_web_maps/010q00000022000000/) or from you custom web application. Note that you can embed WebMaps that are hosted in ArcGIS Online in your own sites if needed (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgisonline/index.html#/Embedding_web_maps/010q00000095000000/) If you are using same features in multiple appications, then it should be published as a feature service and your webmap / custom application then references to it. ...

I think that you have 2 different solutions in this: 1) Define your symbols in our map (webmap if you are using those, http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcgisonline/index.html#//010q0000009w000000, and if you are implementing custom application you can use ClassBreaksRenderer from the API ie. https://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jssamples/renderer_class_breaks.html) 2) Define symbology to the service but you need to create service from tool that supports that. I think you can use atleast ArcMap and Esri Maps for Office to handle it but using developers.arcgis.com don't have that option. Let me know if you need more help with this. Edit: If i understood correctly with fast look on the download page link, you are publishing services from shapefiles. I guess you are uploading shapefiles to ArcGIS Online and then publishing it to service. If you do it like this way, you need to define renderers in your application (option 1) If you have access to ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) then you can define renderer directly to your service and publish it to ArcGIS Online. (option 2) ... View more

Hi, I haven't tested that with OAuth2 and I don't have any implementation of that in hand. I created fast test with token based authentication in WPF and it returns correct results (1 when not authenticated and 8 when token is added).   IdentityManager.Current.GenerateCredentialAsync(                 "http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/",                 "xxxx", // here should be your username                 "xxx", // here should be your password                 (credential, ex) =>                     {                         if (ex != null)                         {                             MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());                             return;                         }                         var portal = new ArcGISPortal();                         portal.Token = credential.Token;                         portal.SearchUsersAsync(                             new SearchParameters() { Limit = 100, QueryString = "orgid:yourid" },                             (info, exception) =>                                 {                                     if (info != null)                                     {                                         MessageBox.Show(info.Results.Count().ToString());                                     }                                 });                     });             var portal1 = new ArcGISPortal();                         portal1.SearchUsersAsync(                 new SearchParameters() { Limit = 100, QueryString = "orgid:yourid" },                 (info, exception) =>                 {                     if (info != null)                     {                         MessageBox.Show(info.Results.Count().ToString());                     }                 }); and request generated GET http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/community/users?num=100&q=orgid%<idhere>&f=json& HTTP/1.1 GET http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/community/users?num=100&q=orgid%<idhere>&f=json&token=yNMOPUrVkzMRwYdNWYoYY4I0sOFHKh4IRFwFM6Lc8NFJYXqrg-lmgpwEruT6u68e_VGWsAykDCcUgUxsOxgGHXLzQ5aZ56k-98acP8bSX2UQeYWesde4a-HXL_gIml2B& HTTP/1.1 I am also curious if there are issues with OAuth based solutions so please updates if you find something to that. ...

I have used MapGesture event (http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/apiref/index.html?ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Map~MapGesture_EV.html) and then checked if GestureType is Tap. ... View more

Thanks, it seems that I just forgot save popup when testing that 😄 ... View more

One thing that affects quite a lot for loading the map is how you define your layers. I would recommend to have have Map control in xaml and then define layers in code. This way you can have some kind of indicator on top of map control while layers are being loaded. You can use LayerCollections.LayersInitialized event http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/apiref/index.html?ESRI.ArcGIS.Client~ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.LayerCollection~LayersInitialized_EV.html to see when all layers are initialized and then put layers to the map. For busy indicator, you can set indicator on when the page is loaded and then take it of when you add layers to the map. I usually have some 3th-party BusyIndicator control defined on top of the map and then I just enable it and change visibility accordingly. ... View more

Cool, thanks. Now that I see it, I remembered that I had seen it before too. ... View more

I have been playing with attachments in hosted feature services and I have enabled those always from ArcMap. If it possible to enable directly from ArcGIS Online, I would be interested to hear how. I know that you can enable following capabilities from AGOL but would be nice to have enable attachements there too. [TABLE="class: hostedFeaturesOnly, width: 100%"][TD="class: hostedFeaturesCol, width: 140"]Editing[/TD] Enable editing and allow editors to: Add, update, and delete features Update feature attributes only Add features only [TD="class: hostedFeaturesCol"]Export Data[/TD] Allow others to export to shapefile, CSV, geodatabase, or KML. [TD="class: hostedFeaturesCol portalSync"]Sync[/TD] [TD="class: portalSync"] Enable Sync (disconnected editing with synchronization). [/TD] [TD="class: hostedFeaturesCol portalEdits"]Track Edits[/TD] [TD="class: portalEdits"] Keep track of who created and last updated features. Editors can only update and delete the features they add. [/TD] [/TABLE] Unfortunatly, I have no idea what could be problem in the 1. case. Maybe post issue to http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/3-ArcGIS? ... View more

1. Recheck your account information and password since i it should work in both apps (or so I have understood). What is error message that you are getting from the app? 2. If you want to activate attachments, you need to do that before uploading the service or you need to replace your existing service after enabling it in ArcMap. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//01m90000000r000000 ...

Ok, so we need to do workaround in this case. Solution that we're most likely implement at the fist place is to have extra attribute on features that defines if the feature is shown or filtered in the webmap. This attribute will be updated everyday to corresponding dates by maintenance service running on the server. I think that dynamic filtering in some values like dates and username would be good enhancement for webmaps. with regards, Antti ... View more
