[mapguide-users] set and zoom to selection

[Knight, Gregory]

Im not sure if its Empty empty or an empty schema...  how do I make that
determination?

 

I have tried adding opening and saving the selection as you suggest, but
that doesn't seem to help.  What is the proper sequence of things -
Initiate, Save, Open?  

Do you have any additional ideas here?

Is it Empty empty or an empty Schema...big difference in trying to
help...

I also noticed you didn't do a Selection.Open...So you've instantiated
the object...but haven't opened it...I've had weird issues between
intitializing, save and Open that confuse me...It seems if I initialize
the object, do a save, and then Open I get a blank set...if I do an Open
Only I get the current selection.

Me again...  Im trying to work through some of the PHP examples and
convert them to C#...  I not doing a very good job...  but Im making
some progress...

 

I have a feature source - to which Ive applied a basic filter.  I am
able to read feature geometry and attributes from my featureReader...
now id like to convert that filtered feature to a selection... I think
there is a problem with the last four lines in the code below...
because, if I write the selectionXml variable to the task pane, it is
empty.

 

Any idea what Im doing wrong here?

 

            // create a filter to select the specified parcel

             

            String filter = "PID_LONG LIKE '%" + parcelID + "%'";

            MgResourceIdentifier featureResId = new
MgResourceIdentifier("Library://BRA/Data/Bos_Parcels_06.FeatureSource");

            MgFeatureQueryOptions queryOptions = new
MgFeatureQueryOptions();

            queryOptions.SetFilter(filter);

            

            // get the parcel feature from the feature source

            

            MgAgfReaderWriter geometryReaderWriter = new
MgAgfReaderWriter();

            MgFeatureReader featureReader =
featureService.SelectFeatures(featureResId, "Bos_Parcels_06",
queryOptions);

            featureReader.ReadNext();

 

            // get the parcel geometry

 

            MgByteReader byteReader =
featureReader.GetGeometry("Geometry");

            MgGeometry geometry = geometryReaderWriter.Read(byteReader);

            MgPoint point = geometry.GetCentroid();

            double x = point.GetCoordinate().GetX();

            double y = point.GetCoordinate().GetY();

                                    

            // create a selection, save the selection as XML

 

            MgLayerBase layer =
map.GetLayers().GetItem("Bos_Parcels_06");

            MgSelection selection = new MgSelection(map);

            selection.AddFeatures(layer, featureReader, 0);

            String selectionXml = selection.ToXml();

I have an application that allows a user to get parcel info for a given
parcel id.  The application flow is much like many of the available
developer samples:

 

-          Get parcel id from user

-          Return link to parcel 

-          User clicks on link to zoom to parcel

-          User can then select parcel to display parcel attributes

 

This works, but I think there is much more user interaction here than
necessary.  Once I have the parcel id from the user (and I know its
valid), Id like to automatically zoom to that parcel and display the
relevant parcel data in the task pane.  Im a little stumped on how I
might do this, as the examples that illustrate setting active selection,
zooming to active selection, etc - all rely on using page load events /
javascript, XML selection sets, etc - again, all more user interaction
than I'd like.  

 

I'm assuming I can do this with one page (as opposed to 2 or 3) via the
web api - but I cant find any examples.  Can someone point me in the
right direction here?

 

Many thanks,

 

Greg
