Common Timer redraw

How to use

If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.

1. Verify that the Web Application Developer Framework (ADF) for the .NET Framework is installed and functioning properly. For information on installing and configuring the Web ADF, consult the installation guide.
2. In Windows Explorer, navigate to <ArcGIS Developer Kit install location>\Samples\ServerNET. This folder contains the Common_TimerRedraw CSharp and VBNet folders.
3. Open the folder of the language you are going to use (that is, CSharp or VBNet) and copy the Common_TimerRedraw_<language> folder to c:\inetpub\wwwroot. The <language> variable can be CSharp or VBNet.
4. Open the IIS Manager from Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, or Internet Information Services.
5. In the console tree view on the left, navigate to Local Computer, Web Sites, Default Web Site. Expand Default Web Site, right-click the Common_TimerRedraw_<language> folder, and click Properties. The Properties dialog box appears.
6. Click the Directory tab, click the Create button in the Application Settings section, then click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
7. Start Visual Studio 2010 and open the solution for the Common_TimerRedraw_<language> located in the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Common_TimerRedraw_<language> folder.
8. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the page you want to view and select Set As Start Page.
9. Open the same page in Design view, open the properties window for the MapResourceManager control, and click the ellipsis next to the ResourceItems property. The ResourceItem Collection Editor dialog box appears.
10. Add or change the MapResourceItem associated with a map service (ArcGIS for Server or ArcGIS Online). In some of the sample code, it is assumed that the resource is in a geographic coordinate system (GCS).
11. If necessary, set the run time identity of the Web application by following one of the next two steps. If not necessary, proceed to Step 14.
12. At design time, the identity of the user running Visual Studio is used to connect to an ArcGIS for Server local data source. At run time, that identity is established by the Web application. Only one identity can be used to define access to the ArcGIS for Server local data sources in a single Web application. This identity can be explicitly defined when building the Web ADF application in Visual Studio by right-clicking the Web project in the Solution Explorer, and selecting the Add ArcGIS Identity option. Add the identity credentials that will be used to access ArcGIS for Server local resources at run time. This information is added to the web.config file in a standard ASP.NET identity tag. If the Encrypt identity in the web.config check box is selected, the identity tag is encrypted; otherwise the username and password are stored as clear text.
13. Open the web.config file, add an <identity> element to <system.web>, set the impersonate attribute to true, add a username and password attribute, and set them to a valid user account. If you are working with ArcGIS for Server local data sources, ensure the account has access to the geographic information system (GIS) server resources referenced in the Map control.
14. Save the project.
15. Click the Debug drop-down menu and click Start Debugging.

1. Browse to the viewer uniform resource locator (URL), for example, http://localhost/Common_TimerRedraw_CSharp).
2. On either page, click the button below the map to start the timer that automates drawing graphics in the map.
3. Alter the draw interval (in seconds) to change the frequency of redraws.
