Version 3.1.16

Release date: 2/6/2009

ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Web Namespace:

• Added new feature: Draggable markers.
• Resolved issue with zooming out after doing a postback.

Draggable markers:

The code to implement a draggable marker is quite simple. An example:

  SimpleMarkerOverlay markerOverlay = new SimpleMarkerOverlay("MarkerOverlay");
  markerOverlay.DragMode = MarkerDragMode.Drag;
  markerOverlay.Markers.Add(new Marker(0, 0, new WebImage(21, 25, -10.5f, -25f)));
  Map1.CustomOverlays.Add(markerOverlay);

ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Core Namespace:

• Added an API(ZoomToOffsetPoint) in ExtentHelper.
• Added Overloads GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBoxCore and GetFeaturesOutsideBoundingBoxCore.
• Added a more descriptive message for a ShapeFile validation.
• Added SaveToProjection in ShapeFileFeatureSource and ShapeFileFeatureLayer.
• Added a protected virtual property for the cached featureSourceColumns.
• Added an API in the FeatureSource to refresh the cached columns.
• Added the API CheckForUnSupportedShapeTypes(string shapeFilePath).
• Changed the logic to use the InMemoryFeatureSource and InMemoryFeatureLayer.
• Resolved an issue with style.DrawSample.
• Resolved System.AccessViolationException when the map is redrawn.
• A number of API additions. See the API change log for complete details.
