Hi,

We&nbsp;have&nbsp;the&nbsp;following&nbsp;features&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;desktop&nbsp;edition&nbsp;of&nbsp;mapsuite&nbsp;and&nbsp;need&nbsp;the&nbsp;same&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;silverlight&nbsp;edition&nbsp;as&nbsp;well.

Please&nbsp;help&nbsp;us&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;APIs&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;used.

1.&nbsp;PreviousExtent

2.&nbsp;FullExtent

3.&nbsp;Setting&nbsp;Mode&nbsp;using&nbsp;ModeType

Above&nbsp;features&nbsp;are&nbsp;directly&nbsp;available&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;MapSuite.DesktopEdition.Map&nbsp;control&nbsp;and&nbsp;we&nbsp;would&nbsp;like&nbsp;to&nbsp;know&nbsp;whether&nbsp;they&nbsp;are&nbsp;available&nbsp;in&nbsp;Silverlight&nbsp;edition&nbsp;directly&nbsp;or&nbsp;any&nbsp;work&nbsp;arounds&nbsp;are&nbsp;available.

Thanks,

Krithika

Krithika,&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Thanks&nbsp;for&nbsp;evaluating&nbsp;our&nbsp;Silverlight&nbsp;Edition.&nbsp;Currently&nbsp;you&nbsp;are&nbsp;using&nbsp;Desktop&nbsp;2.0.&nbsp;These&nbsp;properties&nbsp;are&nbsp;removed&nbsp;from&nbsp;all&nbsp;our&nbsp;products&nbsp;in&nbsp;our&nbsp;MapSuite&nbsp;3.0.&nbsp;But&nbsp;instead,&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;simply&nbsp;implement&nbsp;them&nbsp;with&nbsp;our&nbsp;3.0&nbsp;controls.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;1,&nbsp;PreviousExtent:&nbsp;we&nbsp;have&nbsp;ExtentChanged&nbsp;event&nbsp;sample&nbsp;in&nbsp;our&nbsp;intalled&nbsp;package.&nbsp;You&nbsp;can&nbsp;simply&nbsp;record&nbsp;the&nbsp;old&nbsp;extent&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;map&nbsp;and&nbsp;make&nbsp;it&nbsp;a&nbsp;field&nbsp;in&nbsp;your&nbsp;app.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;2,&nbsp;Full&nbsp;extent&nbsp;is&nbsp;only&nbsp;a&nbsp;properties&nbsp;to&nbsp;record&nbsp;an&nbsp;extent&nbsp;you&nbsp;want&nbsp;to&nbsp;restore.&nbsp;You&nbsp;can&nbsp;also&nbsp;use&nbsp;it&nbsp;as&nbsp;a&nbsp;field.&nbsp;Let&nbsp;me&nbsp;know&nbsp;if&nbsp;you&nbsp;have&nbsp;any&nbsp;questions&nbsp;to&nbsp;use&nbsp;this&nbsp;one.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;3,&nbsp;By&nbsp;default,&nbsp;Silverlight&nbsp;has&nbsp;default&nbsp;mouse&nbsp;navigations&nbsp;such&nbsp;as&nbsp;panning,&nbsp;zooming,&nbsp;track&nbsp;zooming&nbsp;etc.&nbsp;So&nbsp;this&nbsp;property&nbsp;is&nbsp;not&nbsp;used&nbsp;anymore.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Hope&nbsp;it&nbsp;makes&nbsp;sense.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Howard
