MapImage.Url Property
MapImage.Url Property
Contains a URL to access the map image, which is cached on a MapPoint Web Service server for a limited time. The URL uses either standard or secure hypertext protocol, depending on the MapOptions.ReturnType property setting.
Public Url As System.String
[C#]
public System.String Url;
Remarks
- The returned URL does not include any information identifiable to a specific map or map request; it is simply a key into the MapPoint Web Service server cache. The URL is UTF-8 encoded.
Example
[Visual Basic]
'Return a URL to the map instead of the whole image
Dim myViews(0) As ViewByHeightWidth
myViews(0) = New ViewByHeightWidth()
myViews(0).CenterPoint = New LatLong()
myViews(0).CenterPoint.Latitude = 40
myViews(0).CenterPoint.Longitude = -120
myViews(0).Height = 200
myViews(0).Width = 300
Dim mapSpec As New MapSpecification()
mapSpec.DataSourceName = "MapPoint.NA"
mapSpec.Views = myViews
mapSpec.Options = New MapOptions()
mapSpec.Options.ReturnType = MapReturnType.ReturnUrl
Dim mapImages() As MapImage
mapImages = renderService.GetMap(mapSpec)
Image1.ImageUrl = mapImages(0).Url
[C#]
//Return a URL to the map instead of the whole image
ViewByHeightWidth[] myViews = new ViewByHeightWidth[1];
myViews[0] = new ViewByHeightWidth();
myViews[0].CenterPoint = new LatLong();
myViews[0].CenterPoint.Latitude = 40;
myViews[0].CenterPoint.Longitude = -120;
myViews[0].Height = 200;
myViews[0].Width = 300;
MapSpecification mapSpec = new MapSpecification();
mapSpec.DataSourceName = "MapPoint.NA";
mapSpec.Views = myViews;
mapSpec.Options = new MapOptions();
mapSpec.Options.ReturnType = MapReturnType.ReturnUrl;
MapImage[] mapImages;
mapImages = renderService.GetMap(mapSpec);
Image1.ImageUrl = mapImages[0].Url;
