I've managed to create a working ArcGIS Model service and now I'm trying to use it in my silverlight application. The model uses a geoprocessing tool Record set (an excel file). I'm trying to add this parameters like it's done in the Drive time sample. I don't know how to call the excel file that I need. |

I think that the excel file should be first converted to JSON then used as recordset parametre. like described in this question . you can convert excel file to json using the suggested scripts here. |

In order to let the model work with the file a user has on his/her computer, you need to pass the file first to the server. You can build your own logic in Silverlight for that or use the new 10.1 Uploads functionality of the geoprocessing services. My suggestion is to extend your current model to get first an Excel file from user, process it if required, and then use the processed dataset as input for your geocoding process. When you make the input Excel file a model parameter, you will be able to implement the uploads logic within your Silverlight application. Just as a comment, you can take a look at the ArcGIS Viewer for Flex which has implemented the Uploads functionality as a widget or a sample Esri JavaScript application where one can upload a file to be input for a GP service. |

You cannot use an Excel file as an input for a Geoprocessing service. Please see this page: Input and output data types When you publish a model as a Geoprocessing service, you can have input parameters only in certain formats. In your case you want to input a table, so your input type should be Recordset. You will have to create a recordset in your Silverlight Application, and will have to pass that as an input to your Geoporcessing query. |
