Measure to nearest feature by road distance
One of the workflows we've been requested to create is where a user enters a parcel ID and then it finds the closest fire hydrant to the parcel and displays the distance from the parcel to the hydrant in road miles or feet along the roadway.
In ArcGIS something like this requires the Network Analyst extension (which we have), but I wasn't sure if this is a type of analysis that can be passed on to Geocortex Workflows?
In the LA County Demo there is a drive time workflow so I'm assuming its possible since that would require some sort of network analysis as well.

Hello Craig,
In workflow there is a Route Task activity that allows you to communicate with a network analyst server. You can also look at the routing classes located in the the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.Tasks namespace. The documentation can be found here:
http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/apiref/ESRI.ArcGIS.Client.html
You should be able to find what you are looking for in there.
Regards,
Michael
