@TanuHoque, yes, I am using Pro. The use case for my colleagues is e.g. a construction site. For whatever reason the colleague has to take all the existing buildings in the vicinity into consideration and she/he knows that we offer building polygons as a nation-wide feature layer at our portal. The colleague request the data through an addin as a feature service layer. The area of the mapview is at that point covering not only the closer area around the construction site, but actually the whole municipality (or worse: the whole country). It takes now a while to get, and visualize all the unnecessary building polygons, and the they clutter the mapview. To avoid exactly that, the colleague will most likely then go to the portal, define a bounding box and extract the data through the portal, to store the data locally, where they will be outdated after a short while. Of course, buildings might not be the best example, but you get the point. To provide my colleagues with an easy way to retrieve data from the portal, without knowing to much about the portal I wrote an addin, offering a little ui, where the user get all the publicly available geo-data (provided through our portal) . Here, the user has the possibility to use a map tool to define a bounding box, which I would like to use to limit the requested service layers to. Hence, the question about adding a &extent=minX, minY, maxX, maxY into the uri, when creating the service layer in Pro. I am aware of the possibilities the user has, once the data are in the map. What I want to do is to limit the data before they come into the map, and to avoid redundant, and/or outdated data laying around in all sort of project folders. ... View more

The ThemeLayer class contains already the GetItemInfoValue() method, but   public virtual ItemInfoValue GetItemInfoValue() { string uri = Id; Item portalItem = ItemFactory.Instance.Create(uri, ItemFactory.ItemType.PortalItem); return new ItemInfoValue() { name = portalItem?.Name, title = portalItem?.Name, catalogPath = portalItem?.Path, type = portalItem?.Type, typeID = portalItem?.TypeID, isContainer = "false" // is that correct? }; }     returned always null, as long as I was giving the url to the portal item, instead of simply handing the item id over. However, now my issue is that the items path value is not pointing at the service itself but at a directory, via the Rest api: "https://portal.com/fed/rest/services/folder/service_name/FeatureServer". As I see it the actual Feature Service would be found at : "https://portal.com/fed/rest/services/folder/service_name/FeatureServer/0". Now, that one I cannot access, since: ArcGIS REST Framework  Home Error: The administrator has disabled the Services Directory. Code: 403   Usually, I create the layer I want to add from our portal by creating the uriString through:       string curService = $"https://portal.com/portal/home/item.html?id={guid}" LayerFactory.Instance.CreateLayer(new Uri(curService, UriKind.Absolute), activeMapView.Map, 0);     and that's what I planned to have in the OnDrop() method. But, I never reach the method, because the end of the StartDrag() method leads to a warning-messagebox: Add data - Failed to add data: https://portal.com/fed/rest/services/folder/service_name/FeatureServer I would rather have the OnDrop() method doing the job of adding the items to the map. Currently it seems that the StartDrag() method is doing everything, which does not make sense, since it is immediately activated when dragging something, without even knowing where it is dragged to. Does that make sense? ... View more

Yes, I worked with both examples, the one you mentioned and the one for the Excel file drop. ... View more

I even have this page bookmarked... 😉 Well, kudos to you, it works fine. I was just not expecting that there is no dedicated PortalQueryParameters method to aim at tags. ... View more

Bit sad that solution but will work. 😉 ... View more

I tried several times to get this part with the ItemTemplate and the namespace right, and failed every time. What usually happened was that the project ran, but my ListBox was not showing any content anymore. ... View more

I tried TwoWay before and it did not change the behaviour... Would be still interested in a solution for TwoWay binding. 🙂 I solved it now with OneWay binding. In need of a button to react on the users selection I implemented the button by referencing the ListBox and its SelectedItems property. <Button Content="Add selected data" Grid.Row="3" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Margin="0,5" Style="{DynamicResource Esri_Button}" Command="{Binding AddServiceCommand}" CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=DataLayerList, Path=SelectedItems}"/>   That works without any problem and the custom command to execute the buttons functionality receives a collection of objects of type ThemeLayer. ...
