Hello, Is there a way to use OpenStreetMap Vector Tiles with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK 100? I don't think that OpenStreetMap Vector Tiles are available as an ESRI Basemap as I could not locate them from this ESRI Basemap link here: http://www.arcgis.com/home/group.html?id=30de8da907d240a0bccd5ad3ff25ef4a&start=1&q=  Is there another way to use OpenStreetMap's vector tiles though? Or are there plans to make this available in future? Thanks, Jen ... View more

Hello, We are developing an application using the ArcGIS Runtime for .NET and the source code is stored within TFS.  When the Visual Studio solution is opened on a new developer computer, one of the projects within the solution cannot be loaded.  This project has had the "ArcGIS Runtime Deployment Manifest" added to it. Outlined below is the error message: Some of the properties associated with the solution could not be read.C:\TheFolderPath\TheProjectName.csproj : error  : The imported project "C:\TheFolderPath\TheProjectName\ideintegration\ArcGISRuntime.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.  C:\TheFolderPath\TheProjectName.csproj This issue has not happened on the other developer computers before.  The ArcGIS Runtime for .NET has been installed on the computer.  The only difference is that the troubled computer is 32 bit and all of the others are 64 bit. Any idea on the source of the problem? Thanks, Scott ... View more

Using the ArcGIS Runtime for .NET (10.2.4) we are creating a polygon graphics layer. The requirement is to have a transparent fill (50%) while the outline of the polygon is to be a solid line.  This is to highlight of the border of the polygons and not block the map below the polygon. A SimpleFillSymbol was created with the renderer in the polygon graphics layer.  The SymbolFillSymbol.Color was set with a color that had transparency (Color.FromArgb).  The SymbolFillSymbol.Outline.Color was set with a color that did not have transparency. This approach works; the fill of the polygon is transparent (50%) while the outline is not.  Question: is this a recommended approach?  Does this have an impact on the performance of the drawing of the graphics layer? The other approach is to use layer transparency but then the outline of the polygon would also be transparent. Thanks, Scott ... View more

We have encountered an issue with ArcGIS Server dynamic map services that are not visible within the Silverlight application; it does not seem to be the typical ClientAccessPolicy file issue. On a single server there is ArcGIS Server 10 with the dynamic map services.  The server also contains the Silverlight web application.  The application was published into the default web site; http://serverName/ApplicationName .  The default web site also contains the ClientAccessPolicy.XML file (C:\inetpub\wwwroot).  The map services are available within the application without any issues.  The URL to the map services is http://ServerName/ArcGIS/rest/services/MapServiceName/MapServer . When the site was moved into application into a new web site on the same server with a host header of �?? www.SomeName.grp�?� , the map services failed to initialize.  There was the following error, from the InitializationFailure event of the layer: A security exception occured while trying to connect to the REST endpoint. Make sure you have a cross domain policy file available at the root for your server that allows for requests from this application. Using Fiddler, it was found that a request to get the metadata of the map service or ClientAccessPolicy.XML file was never made. We updated the URL to the one of the map service to use the IP address rather than the server name.  This map service then worked; the ClientAccessPolicy file was first download and then the map service. Any help would be great, Scott ... View more

The ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Bing.TileLayer reports the WKID of 102100 (version 2.0).  Is this going to be updated to 3857 at a future release?  Apparently 102100 and 3857 are the same; there is a good overview with this thread:  http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/11474-wkid-madness!!!-and-other-online-documentation-conniptions ...

I have seen some new Bing Map caches styles; �??Dark�?� and �??Light�?�; and they look really sharp.  The current version, 2.0, of the ESRI.ArcGIS.Bing assembly only has three map styles to select from; �??TileLayer.LayerType�?�.  Is this to be updated in the future to support the different styles offered by Bing? Attached is a screen shot of the dark map style.  This can also be seen at work with the following link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38877306/ns/weather/?GT1=43001 Thanks, Scott ... View more
