Hi Jeff Have a loog at the help on working with different authentication schemes | ArcGIS for Developers  for the different login options. This worked in my case. It could be that you are set up so you just need to enter the url to your subscription  gis = GIS("https://xxx.maps.arcgis.com") and have Integrated Windows Authentication using NTLM or Kerberos (this works in my case) or you can for example use  gis = GIS("pro") to use the login from your current ArcGIS Pro session. From the website referenced above: Using the pro authentication scheme, scripts can get an instance of the GIS class representing the active portal in ArcGIS Pro without requiring the user to pass their credentials in a second time. In this mode, users can leverage the Pro app to login to the portal and their scripts can use whichever Portal is currently active. This mode can also serve as a bridge for users with advanced authentication scenarios like IWA using NTLM or Kerberos or Smart Card where signing in with credentials may not be possible or desirable. ...

Hi Drew Until now I never had the need to convert one of my ArcObjects items (commands, edit tools or anything else) to an Addin, I usually just made sure that the setup works properly.(as described in ArcObjects Help for .NET developers ), I am therefore probaly no the right Person to judge if there is an Advantage in doing this. Regarding the question of compatibility of the .NET Addins with Pro: The ArcGIS Pro SDK is in some aspects quite different from what you know until now, it has e.g. been redesigned to take advantage of background threads and async/await patterns.when editing (see for example arcgis-pro-samples-beta/CutFeaturesTool.cs at master · Esri/arcgis-pro-samples-beta · GitHub ). I really look at it the same way as when I compare the UX of ArcMap with the UX of ArcGIS Pro: There are many similarities which help me to get used to it quite fast but there are also many new things where it does not make sense to be able to reuse existing code (at least not in my opinion). I tis probably a good "exercise" to rewrite one of your tools in the ArcGIS Pro SDK to get a feeling for it but I would not wait for it if I have a need to convert my tools to addins. Please also understand that the first version of the SDK will probably not be "feature complete". Best regards, Matthias ... View more

Hi Armin I believe that you need to explicitly open the connection object first. Here is what you need in C#. If I do this, I do get an object for the serviceDescription. IWMTSLayer wmtsLayer = layer as IWMTSLayer; IName wmtsName = wmtsLayer.DataSourceName; IWMTSConnectionName wmtsConnectionName = wmtsName as IWMTSConnectionName; WMTSConnection wmtsConnection = wmtsConnectionName.OpenEx(null) as WMTSConnection; IWMTSServiceDescription wmtsServiceDescription = (IWMTSServiceDescription)wmtsConnection; Matthias ...

Hi Armin The layer (ILayer) should also implement IWMTSLayer. Go to IWMTSLayer.Connection to get the WMTSConnection-Object. This object also implements IWMTSServiceDescription: You get to the indidual LayerDescriptions (of type IWMTSLayerDescription) via the LayerDescription Property of the IWMTSServiceDescription-Interface. LayerDescription is a list, you Need to specify a layer index to get Access to the individual layer. Best regards, Matthias ... View more

We are having the same issues here on an ArcGIS Server on Windows 7 (32bit). The account is not recognized whereas the same user can logon to rest admin. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. ... View more

Hi Holger, What you need to enter is what you see after a right click on the database in ArcCatalog and choose "Save connection". You can then open the "Connection Properties" from the connection file under the "Database Connections" node. In your case, you seem to be missing the correct xpression for the service, try sde:sqlserver:[machinename]\sqlexpress Best regards, Matthias ESRI Switzerland ... View more
