Common Custom JavaScript

How to use

If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.

1. Verify that the Web ADF for the .NET Framework is installed and functioning properly. For information on installing and configuring the Web ADF, consult the installation guide.
2. In Windows Explorer, navigate to <ArcGIS install location>\DeveloperKit10.0\Samples\ServerNET. This folder contains the Common_CustomJavaScript CSharp and VBNet folders.
3. Open the folder of the language you're going to use—CSharp or VBNet—and copy the Common_CustomJavaScript_<language> folder to c:\inetpub\wwwroot. The <language> variable can be either CSharp or VBNet.
4. Open the IIS Manager from Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager or Internet Information Services.
5. In the console tree view on the left, navigate to Local Computer > Web Sites > Default Web Site, expand Default Web Site, right-click the Common_CustomJavaScript_<language> folder, and click Properties. The Properties dialog box opens.
6. Click the Directory tab, click the Create button in the Application Settings section, then click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
7. Start Microsoft Visual Studio (2008 or 2010) and open the solution for the version of Visual Studio you're using. The Visual Studio version is appended to the solution file name. For example, the Visual Studio 2008 solution file for the Common_CustomJavaScript_CSharp sample is Common_CustomJavaScript_CSharp2008.sln and is located in the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Common_CustomJavaScript_CSharp folder.
8. In Solution Explorer, right-click the page you want to view and select Set As Start Page.
9. Open the page in Design view, open the properties window for the MapResourceManager control, and click the ellipsis next to the ResourceItems property. The ResourceItem Collection Editor dialog box opens.
10. Add or change the MapResourceItem associated with a map service (ArcGIS Server, ArcIMS and so on). Some of the sample code assumes that the resource is in a geographic coordinate system.
11. If necessary, set the run time identity of the Web application using one of the next two steps. If not necessary, proceed to step 14.
12. At design time, the identity of the user running Visual Studio is used to connect to an ArcGIS Server local data source. At run time, that identity is established by the Web application. Only one identity can be used to define access to the ArcGIS Server local data sources in a single Web application. This identity can be explicitly defined when building the Web ADF application in Visual Studio by right-clicking the Web project in Solution Explorer and selecting the Add ArcGIS Identity option. Enter the identity credentials that will be used to access ArcGIS Server local resources at run time. This information is added to the web.config file in a standard ASP.NET identity tag. If the Encrypt identity in web.config check box is checked, the identity tag will be encrypted; otherwise, the username and password are stored as clear text.
13. Open the web.config file and add an <identity> element in <system.web>. Set the impersonate attribute to true. Add a username and password attribute and set them to a valid user account. If you're working with ArcGIS Server local data sources, ensure that the account has access to the geographic information system (GIS) server resources referenced in the Map control.
14. Save the project.
15. Click the Debug drop-down menu and click Start Debugging.

1. Browse to the viewer uniform resource locator (URL) (for example, http://localhost/Common_CustomJavaScript_CSharp).
2. In the Default.aspx page, click the Zoom In button to zoom in on the map. The map coordinates are updated in the browser's status bar when the mouse cursor hovers over the map.
3. Type information in the text box to display in a MapTip, pan the map to a location you want to place a graphic with a MapTip, and press and hold the A key and click the map. Depending on the geometry type you selected in the JavaScript code (point by default), you can input a graphic on the map. When finished, hover over the graphic to see the MapTip.
4. Click the Add Layer button to add an ArcGIS Server cached service dynamically, modify the code to point to a value cache location, and define the appropriate parameters. In MapDataGridHover.aspx, three random points have been generated and rendered as Web ADF graphics on top of the USA sample dataset. The graphics are rendered on the client so you can interact with them using the Web ADF JavaScript Library.
5. Hover over a row in GridView. The corresponding feature in the map is highlighted.
6. Click the row in GridView. The map zooms to the feature clicked.
7. In AddArgumentsToTool.aspx, select an item from the drop-down list boxes to the right of the map. One drop-down list is a server control, and the other is a client Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) element. Using the Web ADF JavaScript Library, the value of each is appended to the Web request initiated via a custom tool on the map. The server-side code illustrates how to retrieve the custom items.
