Hi, we are tying to set-up GeoCortex with our ArcGis server but can't seem to get it right.

I'm struggling with a really stubborn problem here.

An ESRI Symbol has a ControlTemplate and in the ControlTemplate I can specify a ContextMenu, and that works fine. However, I need to change the ContextMenu (add, remove items) at run time. ControlTemplate.FindName doesn't work because Symbol is not a FrameworkElement. I also know about Graphic.MouseLeftButtonDown, but I want the context ...

For a project, I want to simulate movement of individual entities on a map. Someone recommended ArcGIS for this purpose, so I looked around a bit and found ArcMap. For anyone who is experienced with the program: is it possible to plot, say, a dot on a location of a map, and make it move using a for loop? I know this is a really general q...

The animation in the guide...

These can be consumed by various applications (ArcGIS Desktop, web apps, etc) I would like to get an idea on which areas of my cache are getting hit the most. I would like to visualise these results using a heat map overlaid onto the same cached map. I was thinking of utilising something...
