Dynamic & Tiled Layers

This sample includes a Map, an ArcGISLocalTiledLayer as a base layer and an ArcGISLocalDynamicMapServiceLayer on top. This demonstrates the concept that typically basemaps that are not expected to change often are created as tiled layers and dynamic layers include operational data that changes frequently.

The layers are added using Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML). The ArcGISLocalTiledLayer Path property takes an ArcGIS Tile Package ( .tpk) and ArcGISLocalDynamicMapServiceLayer Path property takes a Map Package (.mpk). Both packages can be authored in ArcGIS for Desktop.
