This sample demonstrates how to display an OGC API feature collection and query features while navigating the map view.
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
-
Create an
OgcFeatureCollectionTable
object using a URL to an OGC API feature service and a collection ID. -
Set the feature table's
FeatureRequestMode
toManualCache
so features requested from the server are cached locally. -
Create a
FeatureLayer
using the feature table and add it to the Map'soperationalLayers
. -
Every time the map view navigation completes:
i. Create
QueryParameters
ii. Set the parameter's
Geometry
to the current extent of the map view.iii. Set the parameter's
SpatialRelationship
toIntersects
.iv. Set the
MaxFeatures
property to 5000 (some services have a low default value for maximum features).v. Call
OgcFeatureCollectionTable::PopulateFromService()
using the query parameters from the previous steps.
Relevant API
- OgcFeatureCollectionTable
- QueryParameters
