<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face="Trebuchet MS"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:blue'>To get feature
properties from the active selection, you need to do a few things.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face="Trebuchet MS"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:blue'><br>
First you need to retrieve the selection from the viewer. Depending on
the viewer you are using, this can be retrieved directly from the server from
your development environment or from the viewer via javascript. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face="Trebuchet MS"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face="Trebuchet MS"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:blue'>Once you have
the selection info, you will need to perform the basic MG initialization,
create resource and feature services, etc. The next step is to connect to
your map resource using the feature reader and selection info to read the
feature properties that you need. The X and Y coordinates can be
retrieved with GetCoordinate().GetX() and GetCoordinate.GetY() respectively.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face="Trebuchet MS"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:blue'>This is the
basic idea anyways…<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=blue face="Trebuchet MS"><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS";color:blue'><br>
There are some good examples in the Dev Guide that illustrate this
process. Check out Ch 3 – Working With Feature Data.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
