Yep. Just make sure to add the Extension class to your Button class' project dependencies (or add the reference manually). If you have them both in the same solution check your build order also. Then just reference your Extension class by name in your Button class. Something like: ExtensionAddin.ClassName.ClassMethod. ... View more

I have verified that I have this problem on 2 other computers, all running ArcGIS 10 SP3. Can anyone duplicate this problem? ... View more

OK, I have been doing some testing under the assumption that the ADDRESS field has some corruption, but that really doesn't seem to be the problem. To clarify, I am running ArcGIS 10 SP3. I created new tables in 3 different formats: FGDB, PGDB, and SDE (SQL Server) with the following fields: ID, Address, City, State, Zip and tested them all with no data and some test data. If I run the Geocode Adresses tool, either from the geocoding toolbar or the toolbox, AND I select the tasks.arcgisonline.com\Locators\TA_Address_NA_10.GeocodeServer (ArcGIS 10) as my locator, the tool fails to recognize the ADDRESS field. If I run the Geocode Adresses tool, either from the geocoding toolbar or the toolbox, AND I select the tasks.arcgisonline.com\Locators\TA_Address_NA.GeocodeServer (ArcGIS 9.3.1) as my locator, the tool successfully recognizes the ADDRESS field. See attachments. [ATTACH=CONFIG]15520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]15521[/ATTACH] If I try to run the ArcToolbox Geocode Adresses tool via ArcObjects AND use the TA_Address_NA_10 GeocodeServer, it also fails in that it only returns CITY locations. I am assuming it is failing to pick up the ADDRESS field even if I map the fields. I am starting to believe that this is not an ArcGIS Online issue and more of an issue with my ArcGIS installation. This problem was not present about two weeks ago. Also, in that time, I have started having trouble reading layer packages within ArcGIS Explorer unless they are created with 9.3.1 data formats included. My next step will be to try on a different machine. ... View more

Could you make sure that the input fields are mapped correctly? Also provide the Server URL Connection information so that we could try and replicate this issue. Thanks for the response. The input table is a Sql Sever view accessed through an ArcSDE direct connection. It contains 6 fields (CustomerID - int, Address - nvarchar(255), City- nvarchar(255), State- nvarchar(255), Zip - nvarchar(255), MarkforGeocoding - bit). The geocoding results work fine using the ArcMap interface or the Geocode Addresses tool via ArcToolbox, though I do notice that the tool fails to automatically map to the address field and I have to manually select it. It maps to the city, state, and zip fields just fine. When accessing the GeocodeAddresses tool via ArcObjects it fails to return anything better than a city location. Here is my code:             Dim geocodeAddresses As ESRI.ArcGIS.GeocodingTools.GeocodeAddresses = New ESRI.ArcGIS.GeocodingTools.GeocodeAddresses()             geocodeAddresses.in_table = "Database Connections\GIS - DEFAULT.sde\IRMCD.GIS.CustomersNeedingGeocoding" 'SQL Server View that identifies Customers needing geocoding by looking at MarkedforGeocoding field.             geocodeAddresses.address_locator = "GIS Servers\arcgis on tasks.arcgisonline.com\Locators\TA_Address_NA_10.GeocodeServer"             geocodeAddresses.in_address_fields = "Address Address VISIBLE NONE;" & "City City VISIBLE NONE;" & "State State VISIBLE NONE;" & "ZIP ZIP VISIBLE NONE"             geocodeAddresses.out_feature_class = "Database Connections\GIS - DEFAULT.sde\IRMCD.GIS.IRMCDGISData\IRMCD.GIS.GeocodingCustomersResults" 'FC that holds geocoding results from ARCGISOnline             geocodeAddresses.out_relationship_type = "STATIC"             RunTool(GP, geocodeAddresses, Nothing)   ' Process: GeocodeAddresses... I thought perhaps I have a corruption issue with my address field...however, if I use the TA_Address_NA.GeocodeServer, the geocoding works fine. Also, this code worked fine as recently as two weeks ago... ... View more

Not sure if this will fix your issue but see this post about modifying the xsl style of your layer file: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/57688-Layer-Packages-amp-PDF-s ... View more

I have experienced the same issue when creating layer packages via ArcObjectshaven't found a solution yet. ArcGIS Explorer seems to ahve some bugs with layer files and layer packages, especially ones that refernce ArcSDE data. I am also attempting to use layer packages to avoid file locks on dynamic layers... One thought I have had is to create the layer packages and then extract them out and use the extracted layer file for map display...that seems to work. ... View more

Windows 7 includes the .NET Framework 3.5.1 as an OS component, including SP1 if I remember correctly. You can try the verification tool found here: '>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2008/10/13/8999004.aspx I believe that the ArcGIS Explorer Desktop installer will let you know if you don't meet the minimum requirements.

I do this all the time. You will want to look at creating a personal geodatabase. There is a great tutorial here: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00v20000000t000000.htm A couple of things you will want to note: 1. I believe that ESRI personal geodatabases are created as .mdb files and NOT .accdb files. This will limit your ability to use the latest and greatest features of Access 2007/2010. This may no longer be true as it was in the past. 2. These personal geodatabases will have special ESRI tables in them that you will not want to mess with. You will also want to limit editing the design of certain fields in the spatial feature class tables. Just be aware of what you are editing and you will not have any problems. Good luck. ...

Is this an exclusive lock (.ex.lock) or a shared lock (.sr.lock)? I belive you can only release an exclusive lock. Also, I think shared locks are not release until the calling app is disposed.... ... View more
