Hi, I am adding graphic element to my graphic container on top of active view for Print functionality. Graphic element added successfully but it hides the layer below. For example I add polygon element with Line Fill symbol it hides the below layer label. I tried with different Z order values but nothing seems work. Please help me on this issue. All I want is to add transparent element on graphics container so that user can see the both element and layer beneath with labels. SR ... View more

Hi All, This is more of design question.  We have big enterprise application developed using ESRI Sliver light 2.1 and ArcGIS Server 10. We are using oracle database 10g and industry specific data model. Shapes are stored in ArcSDE layer (not a feature class - not registered with SDE) and attributes in relational tables. We have no choice for customizations We are using custom Geo processing service to do perform spatial operations from client and database inserts (only used for shape insert).We are also using third party product to create EDM (entity data model ) at client side and do the all non-shape database operations. This third party product DOES NOT support database transactions. We are mainly using this product to avoid WCF service or other methods to do DB operations being enterprise application. Now, we have a use case - where user will draws the shape and enter the attributes and it needs to be saved to the database. Application architecture is  that the shape will be passed as record set to custom GP tools and which will insert into ArcSDE layer using ArcSDE connection. Attribute data are inserted using third party product into the database. Now, we have handle the distributed transactions, due to some issue[oracle/network], when the attributes data failed to insert the records into database, we need to roll back the shapes as well. Similarly when shapes failed to insert, attributes needs to be rolled back. Attributes information stored in 5 to 6 tables. Question - How to handle such scenario i.e. distributed transactions?. Since shape is inserted ArcSDE layer (not a feature class) and attributes in relational table? I have gone through ITransactions objects and other ways of handling but none of the idea seems to be satisfactory. Can some provide some idea on this issue? Application architecture CANNOT be revised at this moment. All I need to know best way to maintain transactions and remove data inconsistency in best optimal way. Please let me know if you require any clarifications or additional inputs if my message is not clear enough. Please advice me on this Regards SR ... View more

Hi I have a dynamic map service with 60+ layers. For each layer I have added specific description. I want to get the description for each layer using Sliver light API. How to get the description.? I can see the description text in my rest services. Layer description is always null API help says LayerLegendInfo has LayerDescription property which provides description of the layer. But  I do not know how to access layer Legend info class and get the layer description property Pl help SR ... View more

Hi We have same map service [same mxd, same database] running in both Window 2008 server and Windows 2008 R2 server. But performance of map service running Windows 2008 is pretty fast (< 1 sec) whereas R2 server is 4sec for each request. We have investigated IIS settings, ArcGIS server installation are same in both the servers. Hardware is also pretty much same. I am not sure about network settings. Can any one quickly highlight possible reason for the same?. Any ESRI document.? This is very urgent request SR ... View more
