ArcGIS Server Web ADF for the Microsoft .Net Framework

Multiple Services   posted by mvanhook on Nov 10, 2008 12:58 PM

We cannot use the print task if we use more than one service (Layer in App TOC), including the ESRI services. Works OK with only one service. Is there a fix?

mvanhook: Server Extensions are enabled on a server-by-server basis. So server extension functionality can only be designed to run against one service at a time. Unfortunately, the task appears along with the map table of contents, making it *appear* as if it is supposed to work with all layers/services at once. Currently the task is built to work on only one service in the map. You can see this in the "Tasks" tab of the Server Manager while you're building the application. It would be possible to update it to export the layout on any and all services that have been PrintLayout-enabled. But even then, it would have to invoke the export on each service separately, resulting in a series of separate layouts. The best way to export exactly the data layers you want is to add all desired layers to your MXD; make sure they all look nice in the print layout view; and then publish to server with PrintLayout capability enabled. Hope that helps, Mark

Imagery   posted by markdeaton on Nov 19, 2008 10:26 AM

I was able to export imagery. I don't know your exact data or configuration, but here's what I did: * Created a new map doc * Added the sample US States polygon feature class * Added the standard imagery from ArcGIS Online * Saved and published the map doc with print layout extension enabled * Exported to PDF Can you provide more details on how you set up your service?

Questions on Customizing   posted by gbarden on Nov 26, 2008 10:53 AM

Great Extension! I just have a couple of questions about using this with my own map services. First, I can't seem to get a Legend to show up, is there something I need to do similar to creating the dynamic text? Second, the Layout dialog box is "clear" when I use my own layout. It looks like the input fields are just floating without a frame around them. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

User defined scale doesn't work   posted by AndrewRitchie on Dec 09, 2008 7:48 PM

Trying to print to a custom template, the user defined map scale calculations are way off. My Map is set at the desired scale, 1:500. 500 is also entered as the user defined scale in the Print Task. Assuming a maximised window, the ouput created is a 1:679 map (which changes depending on screen size) The Task does _try_ to scale the map, as it changes both the height and width extents. (Leaving the scale field blank will produce a map, to the same width as the viewable area, but will change the height extents to fill the template, or vice versa for Layout orientation)

Imagery and scale issues   posted by ddp_developer on Dec 11, 2008 3:51 PM

I add ArcGIS Online basemaps during page_Load dynamically but I have also tried to add them to the .mxd that I publish and neither method seems to export anything but my local data. I also cannot get the local data to export at anything other than full extent. I zoom my map closer, try to export, but the map generated is still full extent and no basemap (imagery or street data). Any ideas? Thanks in advance, David

Highlighted Results   posted by Tink0519 on Mar 16, 2009 8:25 AM

Does this task print highlighted feature graphics? I can not get the results to show up on the exported map.

Andrew Ritchie, I had the similar problem but after changing the template scaling started working. Try printing with other templates.

Using server object extensions when publishing a .MSD file??   posted by ddp_developer on Jun 12, 2009 8:40 AM

I do not have the option to enable this server object extension when I publish a map service definition file (new at 9.3.1 that is needed to support the faster rendering engine for dynamic map services), only when I publish a .mxd file. Is this a known limitation? Thanks, David

Problem after upgrade to 9.3.1   posted by evtinker on Aug 15, 2009 7:45 AM

I have been trying to install and use this extension for about two weeks now with only limited success. Yesterday we stripped the server completely back down, reformatted the drives and started over. I setup the server at 9.3 and installed the extension. It worked perfectly. I then upgraded to 9.3.1 and now have problems. When using Arc Catalog to add the the LayoutSOE function to a published map service the check box is visible but there is no text next to it, just the check box. When checked it does function correctly and layout mxds can be added. When a web application is created the Print Layout Task can be added as expected and the application functions. When the application is used though, the Print Layout window displays without a background. Apparently some sort of skin file has been overwritten or changed by the 9.3.1 upgrade, Does anyone know how to correct this?

Problem compiling   posted by m23141 on Oct 30, 2009 6:29 AM

Howdy, When I try to compile the solution in PagePRinter.cs line 857 I get the error: 'ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.Web.UI.WebControls.Toc' does not contain a definition for 'CreateLegendNodeTree' Any thoughts on why this might be?
