The Runtime .NET team is excited to announce the release of ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET 100.7. This release includes significant new features, enhancements to existing features, performance improvements, and bug fixes. You can read about the changes common to all ArcGIS Runtime SDKs here, but for you, our .NET community, there are several items we would like to highlight…
.NET Core marks a significant step for the WPF UI framework for desktop apps by liberating it from the system-wide .NET Framework and bringing much greater deployment flexibility and a roadmap for the future. Your desktop apps can now target .NET Core 3.1 with the WPF API included with ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET. At the 100.7 release WPF with .NET Core is supported for production use after being in preview status at 100.6. To develop with WPF for .NET Core 3.1 you will need Visual Studio 2019 16.4 or later.
You can now find, install, and update ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET directly in your Visual Studio environment. Starting with the 100.7 release, the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET VS extension is available from Visual Studio Marketplace as well as from ArcGIS for Developers. You get the same set of Project Templates regardless of the install you choose. If you work in an offline or intermittently connected environment, download the SDK from ArcGIS for Developers since it includes the ArcGIS Runtime NuGet packages for local installation. Otherwise, these packages will be referenced from Nuget.org.
A combination of internal research projects and your direct feedback resulted in the identification of optimization opportunities across several common API workflows:
In response to your feedback during the 100.6 and 100.7 release cycles, we were able to make additional improvements in other areas of the SDK:
With each release of ArcGIS Runtime we announce future plans to deprecate support for specific platforms and we may enact some deprecation notices announced at previous releases. Here are some notable announcements and changes at the 100.7 release:
Throughout the 100.5, 100.6, and 100.7 release cycles we have been working on a brand new iteration of the Legend control included with the Toolkit and as that work continues to make great progress we hope to be in a position to release the Toolkit 100.7 soon...
We are also excited to announce significant updates to the .NET open source app 'Data Collection’:
