1. Using Visual Studio, open the starter solution namedTheftStatisticsWebPart from \Labs\ACDM\source\beginfolder.
http://intranet.contoso.com/Lists/DataGov/ReadList.aspxhttp://intranet.contoso.com/Lists/DataGov/ReadList.aspx


25/35

Figure 49Solution Explorer

1. Review the projects and code in the solution. The TheftStatisticsWebPartsolution was created using the Silverlight Web Part project template. Twoprojects are created, one SharePoint project and a Silverlight Application

project. The lab will focus on the Silverlight Application. All of the filesneeded for the application exist in the starter solution.

2. Click on the plus sign associated with the ViewModels folder to expand thefolder contents.

3. Review the code in CrimeStat class. This class is used to store individualresults from a search.

4. Right-click on CrimeStatsViewModel.cs and select Open. The view modelincluded the necessary using statements, service reference to the BingGeocode service and the asynchronous code to geocode our results.

Task 2 Adding the Silverlight Client Side Object Model ReferencesIn this task, you will add the needed references to the two required Silverlight ClientSide Object Model assemblies.

Figure 50Add Reference dialog box

1. Click OKto add the assembly references to the project

Task 3 Completing the Existing View Model

In this task, you will complete the existing view model. The CrimeStatsViewModelclass will asynchronously query the external list, geocode the results and add theresults to an ObservableCollection for data binding.

1. Right-click CrimeStatsViewModel.cs in the Solution Explorer pane andselect Open.

2. Add a public collection of TheftStatistic objects used for data binding.(Snippet 7.1.12)

Figure 51Add public TheftStatistic collection

1. Add a public TheftStatisitc property named CurrentStatistic to contain thecurrently selected TheftStatistic. This property will raise theOnPropertyChange event. (Snippet 7.1.13)


27/35

Figure 52Add public TheftStatisitc property

1. Add a public method to find the current TheftStatistic from the collection andset the CurrentStatistic property. (Snippet 7.1.14)

Figure 53Create SetCurrentStatistic method

1. Add a private collection of TheftStatistic objects for temporary storage of theresults returned from the Client Side Object Model query. This collection willnot be data bound to the user interface. (Snippet 7.1.15)

Figure 54Add private TheftStatistic collection

1. Add a variable named bcslist of type IEnumerable< ListItem>. (Snippet7.1.16)


28/35

Figure 55Add bcsList variable

1. Create a method named GetTheftStats. This method clears the databoundcollection and sets up the successful callback reference to process theresults. The GetTheftStats method uses Client Side Object Mode and a CAMLquery to retrieve only year values of 2008 from the external list. (Snippet7.1.17)

Figure 56Create GetTheftStats method

1. Create the successful callback method to process the query results. Thesuccessful callback creates a TheftStatistic object for each result and adds itto the temporary storage collection. Once all the TheftStatistic objects havebeen added to the collection, each object is passed to the Geocode method.(Snippet 7.1.18)


29/35

Figure 57

Create QueryCallback method

1. Review the existing Geocode method. This method dispatches the calls tothe UI thread to access the Bing map control in the UI to retrieve the mapcredentials. It then creates an asynchronous call to the Geocode servicepassing in the TheftStatistics State, City and Id values. The Id value isrequired in the callback method for retrieval of the correct object for update.

2. Review and modify the existing geocodeService_GeocodeCompletedmethod. This method is called once per item geocoded. It retrieves the id ofthe object that was associated with the City and State values, selects theitem from the temporary storage collection and updates the Location

property. The selected item is added to the data bound TheftStatisticscollection Replace the //Add code here comment located in the existinggeocodeService_GeocodeCompleted with the lines displayed below (Snippet7.1.19)

Figure 58Review and modify geocodeService_GeocodeCompleted method

1. Add a private class variable named _view of type MainPage. This will be ourconnection back to the MainPage (view). (Snippet 7.1.20)

2. Create the CrimeStatsViewModel constructor. The constructor requires aparameter for the view reference. The constructor will initialize ourcollections and call GetTheftStats to populate our databound collection.(Snippet 7.1.21)


30/35

Figure 59Create CrimeStatsViewModel constructor

1. Save and close CrimeStatsViewModel.cs .

Task 4 Replacing and Review the MainPage Xaml Markup

In this task, you will replace and review the MainPage.xaml markup with markupfrom the SupportingFiles folder.

1. Right-click MainPage.xaml in the Solution Explorer pane and select Open.

2. Open the SupportingFiles folder located in the starter solution and openMainPage.xaml.txt file.

3. Copy the text in the MainPage.xaml.txt files and pasted it over the existingMainPage.xaml markup.

4. Locate the Map control and enter your specific Bing map key as theCredentialsProvider attribute value.

5. Review the MainPage.xaml markup. Notice that the markup includes a Mapcontrol named CrimeMap. The Map control contains a MapItemsControlwhich references the static resource named Pushpin. The DataTemplate is

bound to the view models TheftStatistics collection. The PushPin controldefines the MouseEnter and MouseLeave event handlers that are defined inthe code beside.

6. The Map control also defines a MapLayer control that is used to display thepopup that is bound to the view models CurrentStatistic property.

7. Save and close MainPage.xaml.

Task 5 Completing the Existing MainPage.Xaml.cs Code Beside

In this task, you will complete the existing MainPage.xaml.cs code beside page. Thecode will manage the controls events and set the datacontext.

1. In Solution Explorer, right-click MainPage.xaml and select View Code.

2. Delete the commented code.

3. Add the following using statement to MainPage.xaml.cs (Snippet 7.1.22) :

Figure 61Add viewModel Variable

1. Modify the existing constructor to initialize the viewModel variable and setthe DataContext to the view model reference. (Snippet 7.1.24)

Figure 62Modify MainPage method

1. Add the PushPins MouseEnter handler. This method retrieves thePushPins tag property that contains the associated TheftStatistics id andcall the view models SetCurrentStatistic property. The rest of the methodsets the layers location and visibility. (Snippet 7.1.25)

Figure 63Add the PushPins MouseEnter handler

1. Add the PushPins MouseLeave handler. This method will hide the maplayer. (Snippet 7.1.26)
