Implements IHttpRequestService

Properties

ShowDebugInfo

Gets or sets a value indicating whether debug tile outlines and diagnostics should be displayed.

public bool ShowDebugInfo { get; set; }

Property Value

bool

TileSize

Gets or sets the pixel size of each vector tile request.

public int TileSize { get; set; }

Property Value

int

ClientId

Gets or sets the client identifier.

public string ClientId { get; set; }

Property Value

string

        The client identifier.

ClientSecret

Gets or sets the client secret.

public string ClientSecret { get; set; }

Property Value

string

        The client secret.

MapType

Gets or sets the type of the map.

public ThinkGeoCloudVectorMapsMapType MapType { get; set; }

Property Value

ThinkGeoCloudVectorMapsMapType

        The type of the map.

VectorTileCache

Gets or sets the vector tileView cache.

public FileVectorTileCache VectorTileCache { get; set; }

Property Value

FileVectorTileCache

        The vector tileView cache.

BitmapTileCache

Gets or sets the bitmap tileView cache.

        The bitmap tileView cache.

StyleJsonUri

Gets or sets the style json URI.

public Uri StyleJsonUri { get; set; }

Property Value

Uri

        The style json URI.

ProjectionConverter

Gets or sets the projection converter applied to vector features before rendering.

public ProjectionConverter ProjectionConverter { get; set; }

Property Value

ProjectionConverter

HttpClient

Gets or sets the HTTP client reused for outbound requests.

public HttpClient HttpClient { get; set; }

Property Value

HttpClient

Remarks:

Use this property when the caller needs full control over the entire WebBasedAsyncLayer.HttpClient instance, including its handler pipeline and default headers. When assigned before OpenAsyncCore, this property takes precedence over WebBasedAsyncLayer.HttpMessageHandler; the handler property is ignored.

Ownership remains with the caller. The layer reuses the supplied client rather than creating its own. The current implementation also applies WebBasedAsyncLayer.TimeoutInSeconds to HttpClient.Timeout during open, even when the client is caller-supplied. This can affect shared WebBasedAsyncLayer.HttpClient instances.

HttpMessageHandler

Gets or sets an optional HttpMessageHandler used to construct the internal WebBasedAsyncLayer.HttpClient at open time. Useful for Blazor WASM (injecting a browser-compatible handler), DelegatingHandler chains (Polly retry, OpenTelemetry, custom auth), or unit tests with mock handlers.

public HttpMessageHandler HttpMessageHandler { get; set; }

Property Value

HttpMessageHandler

Remarks:

Prefer this property over WebBasedAsyncLayer.HttpClient when the caller wants to control the transport pipeline but still allow the layer to create and own its runtime WebBasedAsyncLayer.HttpClient instance.

If both WebBasedAsyncLayer.HttpClient and WebBasedAsyncLayer.HttpMessageHandler are assigned before opening, WebBasedAsyncLayer.HttpClient wins and this property is ignored.

Behavior: Read once during OpenAsyncCore. Setting it after the layer is opened has no effect.Ignored when has already been assigned.When supplied, , , and automatic decompression are NOT applied — the caller owns the full handler chain.The handler is not disposed by this layer. Caller retains ownership (intended for singletons from IHttpClientFactory or DI).Not serialized; deserialized layers will fall back to the default handler.

WebProxy

Gets or sets the proxy through which all HTTP requests should be routed.

public IWebProxy WebProxy { get; set; }

Property Value

IWebProxy

TimeoutInSeconds

Gets or sets the request timeout, in seconds.

public int TimeoutInSeconds { get; set; }

Property Value

int

Credentials

Gets or sets the credential provider used when authenticating HTTP requests.

public ICredentials Credentials { get; set; }

Property Value

ICredentials

UserAgent

This property allows you to specify a custom user-agent request header when making requests to a Web server. This header provides information about the client application or device and can be useful for server-side logging and analytics.

public string UserAgent { get; set; }

Property Value

string

UpperScale

This property gets and sets the upper threshold in the scale at which to display the image.

public double UpperScale { get; set; }

Property Value

double
This property gets the upper threshold in the scale at which to display the image.

Remarks:

Above the upper threshold in scale, the image will not be displayed. This, in conjunction with the LowerThreshold property, allows you to create a band in which it is suitable to display the image source. By default, the upper threshold is double.max and lower threshold is 0. This means the image should always display.

LowerScale

This property gets and sets the lower threshold in the scale at which to display the image.

public double LowerScale { get; set; }

Property Value

double
This property gets the lower threshold in the scale at which to display the image.

Remarks:

Below the lower threshold in scale, the image will not be displayed. This, in conjunction with the UpperThreshold property, allows you to create a band in which it is suitable to display the image source. By default, the upper threshold is double.max and lower threshold is 0. This means the image should always display.

Name

Gets or sets the display name for the layer.

public string Name { get; set; }

Property Value

string
The name used to identify the layer within UI components such as legends.

Remarks:

The name is user defined. Assign a descriptive value so tooling such as legends and layer lists can surface a meaningful label to end users.

IsOpen

Gets a value indicating whether the layer is currently open.

public bool IsOpen { get; }

Property Value

bool
true if the layer has completed its open routine; otherwise, false.

Remarks:

This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method IsOpenCore. Various methods on the Layer require that it be in an open state. If one of those methods is called when the state is not open, then the method will throw an exception. To enter the open state, you must call the Layer Open method. The method will raise an exception if the current Layer is already open.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

IsVisible

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the layer is visible.

public bool IsVisible { get; set; }

Property Value

bool
true to draw the layer; otherwise, false.

Remarks:

If this property is set to false, the layer will not draw. We ensure this in the Draw method. This is useful for legends and other controls that control the visibility of layers.

Projection

Gets the projection of the layer.

public Projection Projection { get; set; }

Property Value

Projection

DrawingExceptionMode

Gets or sets how drawing exceptions are handled when the layer renders.

public DrawingExceptionMode DrawingExceptionMode { get; set; }

Property Value

DrawingExceptionMode

Background

Gets or sets the background color used when rendering the layer.

public GeoColor Background { get; set; }

Property Value

GeoColor
The fill applied to areas not covered by layer content.

Transparency

Gets or sets the amount of transparency applied to the rendered image.

public float Transparency { get; set; }

Property Value

float
A value between 0 (fully transparent) and 255 (fully opaque).

Opacity

Gets or sets the opacity applied to the rendered image.

public float Opacity { get; set; }

Property Value

float
A value between 0.0 (fully transparent) and 1.0 (fully opaque).

BlueTranslation

Gets or sets the intensity adjustment applied to the blue channel.

public float BlueTranslation { get; set; }

Property Value

float
A value between -255 and 255 representing the blue channel translation.

RedTranslation

Gets or sets the intensity adjustment applied to the red channel.

public float RedTranslation { get; set; }

Property Value

float
A value between -255 and 255 representing the red channel translation.

GreenTranslation

Gets or sets the intensity adjustment applied to the green channel.

public float GreenTranslation { get; set; }

Property Value

float
A value between -255 and 255 representing the green channel translation.

KeyColors

Gets the collection of key colors that should be rendered as transparent.

public Collection<GeoColor> KeyColors { get; }

Property Value

Collection<GeoColor>

Remarks:

Attempting to access this collection when the associated GeoCanvas does not support key colors (see GeoCanvas.SupportKeyColor) results in an exception. Add colors to this collection to ensure they render as transparent.

IsNegative

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the image should be rendered with inverted colors.

public bool IsNegative { get; set; }

Property Value

bool
true to invert the color channels; otherwise, false.

IsGrayscale

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the image should be converted to grayscale prior to rendering.

public bool IsGrayscale { get; set; }

Property Value

bool
true to apply a grayscale filter; otherwise, false.

HasBoundingBox

Gets a value indicating whether the layer supports retrieving its bounding box.

public bool HasBoundingBox { get; }

Property Value

bool

Remarks:

When this property is false, calls to or GetFullExtent throw an exception. The default implementation returns false.

ConcurrentAccess

Gets or sets how this layer behaves when more than one thread wants to draw it at once, and what a caller who wants concurrency should therefore do with it.

public ConcurrentAccess ConcurrentAccess { get; set; }

Property Value

ConcurrentAccess
unless the layer says otherwise: callers take turns on the one instance, which is what the screen renderer has done with a layer that did not say otherwise since this question was first asked.

Remarks:

A FeatureLayer that is not given a value of its own answers with its FeatureLayer.FeatureSource's, so a layer and the source it reads through cannot disagree about this.

ThreadSafe

Gets or sets the threading guarantees provided by the layer implementation.

public ThreadSafetyLevel ThreadSafe { get; set; }

Property Value

ThreadSafetyLevel
The level of thread safety that callers can expect when interacting with the layer.

Remarks:

Replaced by LayerBase.ConcurrentAccess and kept only so that code written against it is told, by name, what to use instead. It does not compile, so there is never a question of which of the two a caller meant: there is one value, and it is the other one. That matters because the translation was lossy in one direction - writing ThreadSafetyLevel.Unsafe could only pick ConcurrentAccess.UnsafeLock, and would silently undo a layer or source that had said ConcurrentAccess.UnsafeClone.

ColorMappings

Gets the color translation map that will be applied when rendering the layer.

public Dictionary<GeoColor, GeoColor> ColorMappings { get; }

Property Value

Dictionary<GeoColor, GeoColor>

WrappingMode

Gets or sets how the layer wraps when the map extent crosses world boundaries.

public WrappingMode WrappingMode { get; set; }

Property Value

WrappingMode

WrappingExtent

Gets or sets the geographic extent to use when wrapping is enabled.

public RectangleShape WrappingExtent { get; set; }

Property Value

RectangleShape
