Tech Tips
Zooming to a Point
Zooming into a point is a common question we receive from our customers. Since point based objects don't consume much area it can be a bit difficult to create an extent to zoom in to. The answer to this problem is the buffer method. The buffer method allows you to buffer a point by a certain distance to give it area. For example in the code below we have taken a point and buffered it by 5 miles on each side. Once we have this new buffered point all we need to do is get the RectangleR from the envelope and set this to the map extent. This will then zoom the map into an area 10 miles around your point.
Below is some sample code to help get you started:
C#
// The following code will zoom the map into an area 10 miles around the point.
PointShape pnt = new PointShape(LongValue, LatValue);
Map1.CurrentExtent = pnt.Buffer(5, MapLengthUnits.DecimalDegrees, MapLengthUnits.miles).Envelope.ToRectangleR();
VB.Net
'-- The following will zoom the map into an area 10 miles around the point.
Dim pnt As PointShape = New PointShape(LongValue, LatValue)
Map1.CurrentExtent = pnt.Buffer(5, MapLengthUnits.DecimalDegrees,
