I have line data that has been symbolozied in ways that I don't have time to understand and would like to make a map that tells me =).

My general question is how to display the lack of data results for queries. I have a bunch of layer files that were built with a bunch of def queries in ArcMap. I will iterate over the line data and for each unique line check for results of applying a def query. If results are returned, a new layer file is created representing that query.

I want to highlight the queries that didn't return results in a silverlight app. So I have all the queries that returned zero records in a database.

I'll be making this map with silverlight but any solid cartography concepts for getting at what's not there are welcome.

"highlight the queries that didn't return results" ... does this mean you want to highlight the query string? – Kirk Kuykendall Feb 3 '12 at 3:04
Perhaps report it in a graph.. spatially located near those queries that did return results and some how shown relationship to line entities that also didn't return results? – Justin Feb 3 '12 at 3:13
