I changed the AddShapeFileAndRasterData WPF example to use a ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer instead of the Local variant, and hey presto - labels! Well, that's my problem solved - thanks very much!  It was a very small change as that example creates the local map service programmatically anyway, I just needed to hook up the URL as you said. Doesn't make a lot of sense that this doesn't work with the local variant, but I now have a way forward.  Thanks again. ... View more

Thanks - any time you can spare is appreciated.  I expect I'm just missing something, but it's so easy to turn on the labels for ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer and seemingly impossible for ArcGISLocalDynamicMapServiceLayer - even when using very similar LayerDrawingOptions, that it just feels like a bug! Thanks again. ... View more

Ok, I'm officially giving up, I can't seem to get this to work - I have code from the Silverlight example creating an ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer and it all works fine.  I have code creating a ArcGISLocalDynamicMapServiceLayer and it doesn't work.  The LabelClass used by both is the same (apart from the LabelExpression).  All the rest of the code (ie: creating the ArcGISLocalDynamicMapServiceLayer) is taken from the ESRI examples. I've spoken to Esri UK support (on an unrelated issue) and they have suggested I submit a support request using my EDN subscriber support credits, which I will now do.  I'll update this post if I get any positive results. In the meantime, thanks for your assistance up to this point. Lee. Edit:  apparently EDN doesn't come with any support as standard.  I cannot see my company paying out an extra $2000 just so I can get one of the SDK examples to work properly.  I guess I will need to look at alternatives. ...

No Worries - I'm grateful for any assistance I can get.  I'll certainly try Fiddler.  As an aside, if I take the Silverlight example and transfer it directly into a WPF project, the labels do NOT draw.  Hmmm. LabelClass doesn't have a Label field.  It has LabelExpression if that's what you meant? ... View more

In that case I think I'm clearly doing something daft!  I am using the AddShapeFileAndRasterData example project, and I have set the ShowLabels property of the LayerDrawingOptions class, to no avail.  I have also looked at the silverlight example and tried Creating LabelClass (and LabelOption) instances in the code and assigning to the LayerDrawingOptions, but nothing seems to make any difference.p Essentially I've modified the LocalDynamicMapServiceLayer Initialized event handler like this: LabelClassCollection labelCollection = new LabelClassCollection(); System.Windows.Media.FontFamily fontFam = new System.Windows.Media.FontFamily("Arial"); LabelClass labelClass = new LabelClass() {      LabelPlacement = LabelPlacement.PointLabelPlacementAboveRight,      LabelOptions = new LabelOptions() { Color = Colors.Blue, FontSize = 20, FontWeight = FontWeights.Bold, FontStyle = TextStyle.Normal, FontFamily = fontFam }, }; labelCollection.Add(labelClass); // Create a new LayerDrawingOptions object to hold the renderer information. var layerDrawOpt = new LayerDrawingOptions() {      // Match up the LayerID to the ID of the layer within the service.      LayerID = counter,      // Provide a renderer. In this example it is an empty SimpleMarkerSymbol.      Renderer = new SimpleRenderer() { Symbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol() { } },      ShowLabels = true,      ScaleSymbols = true,      LabelClasses = labelCollection, }; Everything else is as per the AddShapeFileAndRasterData example.  Based on your help so far and the silverlight example, I cannot see why this wouldn't work.  I'm going to pull the silverlight example into a debugger and mess around to see if I can get any clues, but any insight you have would be, as always, very welcome. ...

Thanks Mike - I'll look at that.  So there is no easy 'set a property to true' way to label a shapefile (in the same way that in ArcMap there is a 'Label ShapeFile' option on the layer) in ArcGIS for WPF SDK? ... View more

Thanks Mike, That's pretty much what I assumed and exactly as I hoped - tracking deployments should be no problem. Thanks again for the quick response! Lee. ... View more
