Display OGC API collection

View on GitHubSample viewer app

Display an OGC API feature collection and query features while navigating the map view.

Image of display OGC API collection

Use case

When panning the map view, it is necessary to query the OGC API feature table to obtain additional features within the new visible extent.

How to use the sample

Pan the map and observe how new features are loaded from the OGC API feature service.

How it works

  1. Create an OgcFeatureCollectionTable using a URL to an OGC API feature service and a collection ID.
  2. Set the feature table's FeatureRequestMode property to FeatureRequestMode.ManualCache.
  3. Call OgcFeatureCollectionTable.LoadAsync().
  4. Create a FeatureLayer using the feature collection table and add it to the map view.
  5. Every time the map view navigation completes:
    1. Create QueryParameters.
    2. Set the parameter's Geometry to the current extent of the map view.
    3. Set the parameter's SpatialRelationship property to SpatialRelationship.Intersects.
    4. Set the MaxFeatures property to 5000 (some services have a low default value for maximum features).
    5. Call OgcFeatureCollectionTable.PopulateFromServiceAsync() using the query parameters from the previous steps.
