Update Graphics Layer Activity

Description:

Creates or updates a graphics layer in a client application.

Inheritance Hierarchy:

System.Object
  System.Activities.Activity
    System.Activities.NativeActivity
      Geocortex.Workflow.Activities.ExternalActivityBase
        Geocortex.Workflow.Activities.UpdateGraphicsLayer

Function:

This activity allows you to update an existing graphics layer or create the layer if it does not already exist. You can provide new features to add to the layer and optionally clear any existing features. You can also assign a renderer to control the symbology of the layer.

In a Workflow:

You would use this activity to create a persistent layer in a viewer application that contains custom features and rendering. For example, you could use a Query Task activity to obtain a FeatureSet, then use this activity to create a new graphics layer that contains these features with the symbology of your choosing.

Properties:

Name	Description
In Arguments
FeatureSet	The FeatureSet or collection of Graphics to add.
Graphics Layer Id	The Id of the GraphicsLayer to create or edit.
Remove All Features	If `true`, removes all Graphics from the GraphicsLayer.
Renderer	The Renderer to assign to the the GraphicsLayer. Note the Renderer, along with any Symbols it contains, must be defined inline and must implement the `ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.IJsonSerializable` interface. If a Renderer more complex than `ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.SimpleRenderer` is required, you may use the `ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Renderer.FromJson()` method to create a Renderer from a JSON string.
Renderer Takes Precedence	If `true`, the Renderer of the GraphicsLayer will take precedence over Symbols of Graphics. This argument is only supported in the Geocortex Viewer for Silverlight.
Misc
Display Name	UpdateGraphicsLayer You can change the name of an activity to one that describes what it does. A descriptive name can make a workflow easier to interpret and maintain.
External Id	An activity handler within a client can reference this particular activity using this external identifier.
