Background tiles missing in xServer.NET with xServer2

[jbrand]

Hi, we are using the super-duper xserver.net control to request tiles from a xMap2 backend in the PTV cloud. Since a few days the control does no longer display background tiles though we haven’t changed anything recently. Therefore we assume a topic within PTV. Any clue what happened?

Hi,

yeah this seems to be related to the following effect:

Native level: http://127.0.0.1:50000/services/rest/XM ... edProfile=

In the new version of the REST API the server's reaction to a non-existing storedProfile is

Code: Select all

{"faultInfo":
{"$type":"InvalidValueFault","hint":"Affects query parameter 'storedProfile'.",
"parameter":"storedProfile","value":""},
"message":"String has to be non-empty but was empty."}

The older version was more tolerant and simply fell back into "default".

Solution:
- tell the control to use an explicit profile, e.g. "silkysand"

Code: Select all

formsMap1.Xmap2LayerFactory.MapStyle = "silkysand";

We will also provide a fix for the control itself soon.

Best regards,
Bernd

Also on nuget

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Ptv.XServer.Net/1.7.4

You can now also set the style directly via XMapStyle on the control

Code: Select all

formsMap.XMapUrl = "xserver2-europe-eu;version=2.14";
formsMap.XMapCredentials = "XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX";
formsMap.XMapStyle = "silica";
