a question about ImageBlender -- we're aiming to run this as a standalone service on our webserver, not our arcgis server. I'm probably making a blindingly obvious error, but I can't get the SimpleService in the background to run properly -- it's reporting a null reference exception in imageBlender.BlendImageList, with all params being passed looking good. Testing on my local machine:
//OutputPath and OutputUrl must be the same folder
//Use this if it the project is on a machine with ArcGIS Server
imageBlender.OutputPath = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\images\\"; //recommend to use arcgis server output folder
imageBlender.OutputUrl = "http://localhost/images/";//change [servername] to server name
Unfortunately the InnerException also reveals nothing.
From http://gissc.services.officelive.com/imageblender.aspx it states: "Use the right output path depends on whether this project is on a machine with ArcGIS Server or not" and "This utility does not require ArcGIS server"
It seems the above is incorrect. Hopefully, this will be corrected on the website to help avoid people wasting some time trying to get it to work on a server that does not have ArcGIS server installed.
