Building .NET Console Application Using ArcGIS Pro .NET SDK

AnujKatiyar

Hi,

I am rewriting ArcObjects .NET Console Application using the Pro SDK. I want to dynamically create / delete shape file in my console application using Pro SDK but i am not finding any documentation for Pro SDK for such requirements.

Can you please provide any code sample for same ?

Thanks @RichRuh . That has made things clear.

Hi Helen,

Sorry for the delayed response.

The only assemblies that work outside of ArcGIS Pro are `ArcGIS.Core.dll` and `ArcGIS.CoreHost.dll`. You can only use ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing if you are building a Pro add-in.

You can edit features using the geodatabase routines described here: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk/wiki/ProConcepts-Geodatabase#editing-in-stand-alone-mode

I hope this helps,

Thanks @RichRuh , do you mean other dll like ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing will not be supported? If that is the case, I have to create Microsoft VS Console app and add dll like ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing from there?

RichRuh

Helen,

The only supported assemblies in CoreHost applications are `ArcGIS.Core.dll` and `ArcGIS.CoreHost.dll`. More detailed instructions for creating CoreHost applications can be found here.

@RichRuh, I have the same question. I have created a console application using template "ArcGIS Pro CoreHost application" in Visual Studio 2022. I am going to use this application work as a console application to update some feature's attributes in a feature class. I have added bunch of assemblies from C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin and C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Extensions folder. I have changed the Platform Target in Visual Studio from "Any CPU" to "x64". When run the application, I am able to connect to the enterprise geodatabase and the feature class. But when running at line "EditOperation editOperation = new EditOperation();", I get different assembly error. I am running ArcGIS Pro 3.0.3 and SDK 3.0. Is the a stand-alone CoreHost application not yet able to run such task? Thanks

RichRuh

Anuj,

The Pro SDK is implemented in terms of ArcObjects. While I've never tried it personally, I expect the two APIs would interfere with each other. It's definitely not supported.

Thanks Rich, Can we use ArcObjects .NET SDK & Pro SDK together in a CoreHost application ?

RichRuh

Anuj,

Matt is correct. The Pro SDK does not yet support Data Definition Language (DDL) operations directly. If you are writing a Pro Add-in, you need to use the geoprocessing API. In a stand-alone CoreHost application, you need to shell out to a Python script.

You will need to use geoprocessing tools probably.

Run a geoprocessing task and python script | ArcGIS for Developers

I personally use python to do these types of task. If I want a gui aspect to it I will just put the python script in the solution and run it from there.
