Hello,
I am new to python, and I am trying to learn it through my daily work.
I need a function that will take a string parameter and look into a feature class, find the object and change the extent of the map...this is a function I need on the server.
Here is my code, that works in ArcMap, but I cannot get it to work in Silverlight Viewer:
When I try to reference the mxd as a UNC path, nothing happens (both ArcMAp and Server):
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
M.
ps. I forgot to mention that the version of ArcGIS is v10.
