Hi Chris, Yes, that's basically what I'm trying to ask.  From Dave's 2nd comment above it sounds like the desktop SDKs won't install w/ VS 2010 express editions on the machine.  We still haven't received 10.0 so I cannot confirm this, just trying to plan ahead.  Thanks again to all, TG ...

Hi Chris, Yes, but if I need to do development for both server (specifically the Silverlight 2.0 api) and desktop apps will I need to uninstall web dev 2010 express, install the sdks and then re-install web dev 2010 and keep a copy of vs 2008 for the desktop work?  And if so, any chance that SP1 will allow VS 2010 express? Thanks again, TG ... View more

If I'm reading this thread correctly, I cannot install any of the SDKs if I have Web Developer 2010 Express installed?  Has anyone tried installing Web Dev or any of the other express versions after installing the SDKs?  My concern is that in addition to developing add-ins for desktop, I also am working on a Silverlight application which requires some version of VS 2010 and we cannot afford to buy the full version.  Any insight would be appreciated.  Thanks, Terry ...

You could try using the DistanceAsynch method on the GeometryService.  Only hard part is that it looks like it only takes a single geometry for both the input (your map click) and the target (in this case one of your polygons).  You could query the polygon layer w/ the current map extent and then pass the geometry of each feature in the returned featureset to the Distance operation and simply keep track of the lowest distance and that features ID.  But, if there are no features from the polygon layer currently in the extent, that won't work... you could add some logic that if no features are returned within the map extent to try again w/ a 25% larger extent and keep bumping that up until there's a least one feature returned from the spatial query. ...

For an example of moveable controls, check out the 'unblended' application template available from ArcGIS.com - http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=b77d416635a74e66ab222fe519af2eb7 The Boston site was done in Flex, but I would think you could add some animation to the controls in SL as well. ...

I ended up building the listbox in the cod behind as the layers in our map are added at startup.  I used Jennifer's method of binding to the layer's Id instead of index and it works great. There's probably a better way to set the margins and width of the controls, but it'll work for now.

Hello Dominique, Thanks for the reply.  I tried again today, it works just fine..weird.  I was not setting the image format for the dynamic layer in my XAML as the default is png24 which should support transparency. below is what I had in my XAML, guess my computer just needed a rest..         <esri:Map x:Name="map" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Grid.Row="1">             <esri:Map.Extent>                 <esri:Envelope XMin="-130" YMin="10" XMax="-70" YMax="60" >                     <esri:Envelope.SpatialReference>                         <esri:SpatialReference WKID="4326"/>                     </esri:Envelope.SpatialReference>                 </esri:Envelope>             </esri:Map.Extent>             <esri:Map.Layers>                 <!-- imagery service in 4326 -->                 <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer Url="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/I3_Imagery_Prime_World_2D/MapServer"/>     <!-- local dynamic service in 4269 -->                 <esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer Url="http://myserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/test_service/MapServer/" />                             </esri:Map.Layers>         </esri:Map> ...

how can you reverse the order in the list and maintain the binding w/ the layer visibility and opacity?  Would I need to create another control w/ 2 LayerCollections and (two way)bind one to the ListBox and the other actual map layers with some code to handle changes?  Or am I over thinking this?  Thanks, Terry ...

What kind of environment are you developing in?  If you're using Visual Web Developer or something similar, can you put a break point in the code at s.push("</tbody></table>") and then execute s.join in the immediate window to see what s contains?  Is it valid HTML? Another good debugging option is to use Firebug.  Do you have firefox and the firebug extension installed on your machine?  Try adding a few console.log() statements in the code to make sure the whole thing is running & to narrow down where the problem is.  My question regarding if dojo.byId returning the correct DOM node  - since the html you posted has 2 divs with the same ID, I'm wondering what dojo.byId returns - my guess would be either the 1st one it finds or an error but I'm not sure which... If the 1st for loop is working correctly and the sort is returning a valid array, then the problem might be in constructing the array s.  There are a lot of embedded quotes and opening and closing tags, one of which could be missing & difficult to find.  Instead of building the table as text, have you considered creating it using some of the DOM methods like createElement and appendChild and using CSS to apply all of the fonts and colors?  Here's a small sample of how you could use that instead -        //make new row & cell to add layer info to         trow = document.createElement('tr');         tcell = document.createElement('td');                          //apply alternating style to the row - rowodd and roweven are classes in a CSS file with different background colors so the table has alternating row colors         //NOTE - IE has issues w/ setting class have to work around by using non-standard className         //see http://webbugtrack.blogspot.com/2007/08/bug-242-setattribute-doesnt-always-work.html         if (rowcount % 2 == 0) {           if (dojo.isIE) {trow.setAttribute("className","rowodd");  }           else { trow.setAttribute("class", "rowodd"); }         }         else {           if (dojo.isIE) { trow.setAttribute("className", "roweven"); }           else { trow.setAttribute("class", "roweven"); }         }                         //use data from the featureset attributes to fill the innerHTML of the tcell here.....         //tcell.innerHTML = "name: " + attribs[NAME] ;                          trow.appendChild(tcell);                    //now append that row to a tablebody - in this case one that already exists..          dojo.byId('tblbody').appendChild(trow);                   //example of inserting above the existing bottom row instead of appending..          //dojo.byId('tblbody').insertBefore(trow,dojo.byId('rowBtmRow'));           //increment rowstyle counter           rowcount += 1;         ...

You might try putting another for... loop above your existing one that builds a 2D array w/ the field you want to sort on in the 1st item and the full attributes of the associated feature in the second  - sortlist = []; for (var i = 0, il = results.length; i < il; i++) {   result = results;   attribs = result.feature.attributes;   sortlist = new Array(2);   sortlist[0] = attribs.PIN; //which ever field you want to sort on   sortlist[1] = attribs; } sortlist.sort(numbersort); //now run your existing for loop but at the top reset attribs = sortlist[1] for (var i = 0, il = results.length; i < il; i++) { attribs = sortlist[1]; if (attribs.Active === "N") { s.push("<tr style=\"background-color:#F28282;\"><td nowrap><font size=2.5> " + attribs.Full_Address + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.GIS_Key + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.PIN + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Name + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Address + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_City + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_State + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_ZIP + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Date + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Update + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Occupant_Name + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Occ_Phone1 + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Occ_Phone2 + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Village + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Active + "</font></td></tr>"); } else if (attribs.Village === "N") { s.push("<tr style=\"background-color:#BDBDBD;\"><td nowrap><font size=2.5> " + attribs.Full_Address + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.GIS_Key + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.PIN + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Name + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Address + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_City + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_State + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_ZIP + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Date + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Update + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Occupant_Name + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Occ_Phone1 + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Occ_Phone2 + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Village + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Active + "</font></td></tr>"); } else { s.push("<tr><td nowrap><font size=2.5> " + attribs.Full_Address + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.GIS_Key + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.PIN + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Name + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Address + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_City + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_State + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_ZIP + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Date + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Owner_Update + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Occupant_Name + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Occ_Phone1 + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Occ_Phone2 + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Village + "</font></td><td nowrap><font size=2.5>" + attribs.Active + "</font></td></tr>"); } } Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.  Also, you have 2 Divs in your body with the id of "tbl" and an extra </td> tag. ...

Javascript arrays have a sort() method that can be used to sort your data.  You might need to do it before constructing the html table but should be helpful.  See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Core_JavaScript_1.5_Reference/Objects/Array/sort for discussion on how it works.  Below is some code I've used before to sort results from an Identify task within a table cell.          //inside of a switch statement looking at the layer name returned                   case 'Subdivision':             tcell.innerHTML = "<span style='font-weight:bold'>Subdivision History (Name and Number, sorted most recent to oldest):</span>";             tcell.innerHTML += "<br> <span style='font-style:italic'>For reference only - not to be relied upon as a legal search of the property.</span><br>";             //need to loop thru all of the idResults that are sub history             //date, name, docname, annsubid             var featcount = 0;             while (idResults.layerName == 'Subdivision') {               featval = idResults.feature.attributes['SUBDATE'];               sortlist[featcount] = new Array(2);               sortlist[featcount][0] = new Date(featval).valueOf(); //get date in ms for sorting               sortlist[featcount][1] = "<a href='http://myserver/" + idResults.feature.attributes['LINK'] + "' target='_blank'>" + idResults.feature.attributes['NAME'] + " (" + idResults.feature.attributes['ID'] + ")</a><br>";               featcount += 1;                           }                         //sort descending             sortlist.sort(numbersort);             for (var z = 0, iz = featcount; z < iz; z++) {               tcell.innerHTML += sortlist [1];             }             break;             //after the switch statement...add the cell to a table row and add that to the table above an existing row    trow.appendChild(tcell);     dojo.byId('tblbody').insertBefore(trow,dojo.byId('rowSummary'));        // here's the basic function I used to sort numbers.  note it's taking in arrays     function numbersort(a, b) {       //sort the 1st element in 2 arrays descending       //used to sort subs, agreements, PUD docs, etc...       return b[0] - a[0];     } ...
