OutSpatialReference Property
See Also  Example
ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Tasks Namespace > Query Class : OutSpatialReference Property

The SpatialReference for the returned geometry. If not specified, the geometry is returned in the Map.SpatialReference.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property OutSpatialReference As SpatialReference
C# 
public SpatialReference OutSpatialReference {get; set;}

Remarks

The Query.OutSpatialReference Property determines the SpatialReference of the returned Graphics. Typically, you would set the Query.OutSpatialReference to the Map.SpatialReference if you want to display those returned Graphics in the Map. NOTE: it is not always true that the features in the feature service are in the same SpatialReference as the Map control; many times the data in the feature service are re-projected on-the-fly to match the Map.SpatialReference. Setting the Query.OutSpatialRefernce to that of the Map.SpatialReference saves the client application time from having to iterate through the Graphics in the returned FeatureSet and applying a custom project using a Method like ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Tasks.GeometryService.ProjectAsync(IEnumerable<Graphic>,SpatialReference).

Example

How to use:

Click the two buttons to see how changing the Query.OutSpatialReference yields different results. The feature returned for the QueryTask is the state of Maine.

The XAML code in this example is used in conjunction with the code-behind (C# or VB.NET) to demonstrate the functionality.

The following screen shot corresponds to the code example in this page.
