Public Overrides Function GetTileUrl( _ ByVal level As Integer, _ ByVal row As Integer, _ ByVal col As Integer _ ) As String |
A ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer is made up of multiple tiles (or images) that are automatically put together in a mosaic for display in a Map Control. The tiles are pre-generated on an ArcGIS Server and can be accessed individually via a URL. In order to access the URL for a specific tile it is required to know the Level, Row, and Column information.
A programmatic way to determine the various Level, Row, and Column information can be obtained by writing some code-behind logic in the ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer.TileLoading Event (see the code example in this document).
If the ProxyURL Property has been set to create the ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer, then the output return string of the GetTileUrl Method will have that ProxyURL value inserted at the beginning.
Note: Using Methods are only available in code-behind. You cannot use a Method via XAML.
Parameters
- level
- Layer level
- row
- Tile row
- col
- Tile column
Return Value
URL to the tile imageHow to use:
After the ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer loads in the Map Control, the ListBox will be populated with all the combinations of 'Level, Row, and Column' tiles that make up the initial extent of the ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer image service. Click on any of the combinations in the Listbox and that particular tile will be displayed in an Image Control as well as the Url for that image.
The XAML code in this example is used in conjunction with the code-behind (C# or VB.NET) to demonstrate the functionality.
The following screen shot corresponds to the code example in this page.
